Well, Gaye and Derek finally arrived in Hungary on Saturday afternoon. After allowing them a few days to get over their jetlag and reset their internal clocks, we introduced them to our Grade 2 class this morning.
The kids were very excited to meet them as they had heard through the local grapevine that they were in town. Apparently someone saw us all at Tesco, told someone else, who passed the message onto their neighbour, who informed their priest, who notified their butcher, etc, etc, until everyone in our class knew that Gaye and Derek were in town.
I was really pleased that the kids got to meet other native speakers. They introduced themselves, told Gaye some stories about their dead hamsters and then sang Happy Birthday to Derek (in English and Hungarian).
Gaye and Derek are also writing a travel blog about their trip to Hungary and other parts of Europe. Feel free to check it out: From Máriapócs to Frankfurt 2011.
