I was very curious to see more of what life is like here, and was excited to learn that Nadine’s nieces were performing in a show at their school today (their last day before the Christmas break).  I suppose this was something like a Christmas show we would have at our schools in Canada, but without snow and it was outside.  Here are some pictures from the school. <\/p>\n
