I’ve been back from Southeast Asia for a few days, trying to drop back into the time zone. I haven’t quite landed there yet and I guess that’s a good thing. I leave in the morning for Riga, Latvia. I wasn’t exactly sure where Latvia was so I had to check it out on the map. To give you an idea, it’s located close to Estonia and Belarus. Does that help?
Actually, it’s one of the Baltic states located next to the Baltic Sea in Eastern Europe. Riga – the city where I’ll be staying – is the largest city in the Baltic region. Alan and I will be heading over to attend the international conference on special education.
I’m schedule to speak on Monday morning on the Hocus Focus Project, a program that integrates simple magic tricks into functional curriculum for all students (though there is an emphasis on those with Autism, ADHD, and Special Learning Disabilities).
It’s another long trip, about 17 hours from door to door. And it’s Alan’s first international flight as well. It think it’s going to be an exciting time. I’ll be posting pictures and video on the blog and facebook, so follow along!
