Goodbye, Peter

We said "goodbye" to Peter, our team leader, at the end of last week.  Although we are all going away (most of us home) for the summer, some of us are not returning.  Peter will be going to a city on the Caspian Sea next year at a new NIS school that will be opening there.

Here we are at "The Bear," a Russian restaurant we frequent.  They have 1 menu that is written in English, so if our group is large, it can take quite some time to pass it around and everyone choose their meal.


We couldn't buy a card (no cards in English), so I asked Diantha, our art teacher, if she could make one.  She did a beautiful rendering of a scene taking in the part of the school and the gardens with the mountains in the background.


It just so happened that the day before she made this, I had taken a picture of the same scene because it had struck me as so beautiful.


Of course, Diantha did a little editing so that construction nearby wouldn't be in her artwork.

Godspeed, Peter.  We will miss you.  See you at the sea.
