Maria just emailed these pictures to me. They’re staying in an apartment that’s right around the corner from Charles Square. She says the apartment is spacious but rundown, and several major appliances don’t work, like the washing machine and the satellite dish for the TV. Fortunately, she brought lots of DVDs for the boys, and there’s a laundromat nearby. Her mother is there with them too – she’s there for 2 weeks and she’s helping out with the boys while Maria is with the students. Maria found a babysitter to help out for the time between when her mother leaves and I arrive at the end of July.
The boys are having a good time. Maria sounds like she’s exhausted but still enjoying it. She’s not just teaching – she created this program for Villanova and she’s managing the whole thing on her own. It’s a research seminar on entrepreneurship in the Czech Republic, so she’s been arranging various field trips for the students to businesses in the area, helping the students plan interviews, etc. She took the students to a silver mine yesterday and next week she’s taking them to a Taiwanese factory. She brings the boys on the field trips, and they love hanging out with the students, and the students seem to enjoy their antics.
I’ll post more pictures as I receive them!
