The other night I got an email from an old friend. She had been teaching English in Korea, but was back stateside in NYC for a few months with students in tow helping to orchestrate a travel program. They had planned to visit Canada, but their tour had been canceled
last minute - could they stay for a night on their way?
Tomorrow maybe? Late the next night, 8 middle-school Korean
students, the director of their school and my friend Angela are all
trudging their suitcases through the snow to our house. I helped to
set them up Lincoln-Log style in the living room, said my hellos and good-nights and went to bed. This is a sketch from the following
afternoon (yesterday). ----->
My class was canceled due to the impending snow storm so we
watched dramatic Korean soap operas for hours off mysoju.com.

I had met Angela in Italy a few years ago, studying art in Orvieto for a summer. To the left is a page from a sketchbook at the time: smushed flowers, a random flowered wrapper from Rome, bus-seat patterns and an old man smoking in the fields as we drive by...plus second hand french fries at the beach...
To the right is a photo taken while I was making the watercolor sketch of the swimmers and waves above: sitting on the rocks in Tarquinia. It was taken by my friend and fellow traveler Priscila Matei. To check out more of her photos, check out:
