BEING A TEACHER....

BEING A TEACHER IS A DIFFICULT TASK NOWADAYS, SO I DECIDED TO FOLLOW THIS PIECE OF ADVICE BY BRUCE LEE:

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.

Amazing, but true!

 

 

 
We are not laying it on thick when we are in the middle of the Bardenas Reales in Navarre and think we are goint to come across Clint Eastwood or a group of Apaches. The views are just amazing, but true and real and not very far from River Ebro or cities like Tudela.
