We're going to Japan

I was accepted as an ALT (Assistant Language Teacher) for the Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) program. Many details are not worked out just yet, but a few things are certain. I will be departing for Japan on July 26th from Houston for an orientation in Tokyo. Tyler will be coming over a week or two after I arrive and things have settled. We do not know where we will be living until mid to late May, but chances are we will be in a rural area. We will try to find work for Tyler once we find out where we are placed and/or when we arrive Japan.

You can read through the "JET Handbook 2008" link if you want to get an idea of what we will be experiencing in preparation for our departure.

Trip to Denver


These are some pictures from out trip to Denver for my JET interview on Feb. 12th

The first picture is a mountain range that was visible from I-25 shortly after we passed the New Mexico/Colorado border.


This is Daniel Libeskind's Denver Art Museum in downtown Denver.
