Received an email from Tita Brenda – What a good idea for recycling bottle caps
Cut up a disposable water bottle and keep the neck and top.
Insert the plastic bag through the neck and screw the top to seal.
The bag is made air-tight, water will not leak, it is easy to open and the top and screw cap can be used over again!

In the building that we stayed in, this was the foyer as soon as the elevator opens. And it was quite interesting because each floor was decorated differently
James would press one floor when we go up or down just to see how the floors were decorated. We didn’t do it too often since we might be stopped by security! 🙂 here are some of the floors we were able to look at

And the journey continues in search for a good school
Previous entry: Philips Exeter Academy, Exeter, New Hampshire August 10, 2010
Philips Academy Andover August 10, 2010
This time we we visited Hotchkiss
I noticed that these schools are “provincial” in a way that they are very secluded with not much distraction around the area which gives the kids an environment that is conducive to studying
Football field
Golf Course
It was a few days before revisit days
What a nice feeling to be in an old establishment with much history and experience
We arrived just in time for lunch so we just helped ourselves. We were happy to observe the students and how they interact during meals/ breaks
Harkness table
Hallway to classrooms
