This weekend I was invited to participate in a retreat organized

by the Hope Chinese School of Rockville, Maryland, where I have been teaching a class on English writing for the past few months. The retreat was held on Solomons Island on the Chesapeake Bay. On Saturday night there was a dinner and musical presentation for all the teachers and administrators of the school. Then, on Sunday, I stopped by Calvert Cliffs State Park to do some hiking and take some photos. Both the dinner and the hiking were a lot of fun.
