The students flocked to the field to see us hammer and nail building these big wooden goals, they picked up the sticks and looked at them with an odd stare, minutes later I turned around to see them having a catch, it had caught on.

I felt compelled to bring some lacrosse sticks with me to Takuapa, Thailand to see what my old students were made of.  Although my personal holiday, I couldn't avoid work and spent hours a day with students at the private ENG clinic playing lacrosse.  It was like I hadn't left Colorado and still had someone to play with!
