I am a high school English teacher in NYC and during the summer of 2008, I took an extensive cross country road trip to visit literary sites. Now, in the summer of 2013, I will explore Vietnam and study the effects of the Vietnam War from both an American and Vietnamese perspective. I will use this exploration to create an interdisciplinary unit on the Vietnam War, using Tim O'Brien's wonderful work "The Things They Carried." Thanks for visiting.

Portland: Powell's
In Portland I visited the largest bookstores in the entire United States: Powell Books. It was pretty awesome! Everything that you could possible imagine (plus more) was there and I had a good time exploring and buying some souvenirs. Pics to come soon!
Portland is really cool and a lot of fun. Tomorrow we're starting to drive down the coast! This is the part of the trip that we've been most looking forward to so we're pretty excited. I hope that there are some awesome pictures to come =).
