Journal Entry


A nice couple of days I've had...My first PE class was on Friday at the Adventist school. It has turned into an incentive program for students who score at the top of their class or make major improvements on their weekly exams this term. The idea is to teach them Frisbee this quarter, which the principal has never seen, but the kids are familiar with it. With two frisbees, I was able to facilitate some activities for the 18 kids.

I was also a little busy with some proposal writing for sponsors for an Independence Day program in one of my villages. I ventured a bit south yesterday to the Latille Waterfalls...a sick place that I plan on taking any visitors to. I met a friend up there by chance and he showed me around...the highlight was a small dam in the creek that we were able to jump and dive from into the river.



Upon returning home two nights ago, I had a number of great encounters...a neighbor of mine was selling yams (bajan) and pineapples (zannanna) by the highways and ended up just giving me a pineapple since she knows I like them. In return, I promised to bring them some homemade pizza with pineapple this week.
Down on my street I stopped at another friend's house and talked crab cleaning with Williamson. They His wife gave me some small fish that she cleaned, so i need to fry those up tomorrow night and williamson is going to save me some crab.




The next house down I stopped to chat for a while and was treated to some fresh tuna that was fried in a pan on their coal pot. Delicios. I had to hurry home due to a meeting later on in the evening...
So I hiked up across my village to the meeting....and was the only one there. I guess I didn't get the memo...
Tomorrow, I have to get up early, drop off some proposals and go for a run up a massive hill, then church and cricket practice...Time to hit the sack.
