5. King Soopers Connoisseurs

At King Soopers, they're not just shopping for groceries; they're on a mission to recreate international dishes that will make Gordon Ramsay ask for their autograph.

Having done the hard shopping, on a bright sunny day in Colorado the Fulbright teachers arrived for their retreat at the YMCA in Estes Park. There was Mrs. Tamara the TicToc and Selfi guru, Mr. Emilian, the history and breaktime guru, Mrs. Ana the falling Queen, Mrs. Oksana the always latecomer, Miss Aura in charge of parties and renting cars, and 17 other teachers from around the world, eager to relax after 3 long weeks at UNCO. Their leaders and drivers were Olga and Erika.

The first afternoon they walked around the Bear Lake. As they were wandering in the woods they noticed something odd - Mr. Emilian was missing! The teachers searched all around but could not find him. "How strange," said Mrs. Katlin. "He was just here a minute ago!"

The next morning, Mrs. Rita did not show up for breakfast. Another search ensued, but she too had vanished into thin air! The teachers started to worry. They looked for her in the forest, on the road, even asked the deer if they saw her, but in vain....

 Who would disappear next?

That night, Mrs. Ana led the group in song to lighten the mood. But midway through "Let It Go" from Frozen, Mrs. Ana's voice suddenly stopped. The teachers turned around to see her gone as well!

"She's gone", said Bibigul, and the other girls sadly and quitely agreed.
