Day # 40 First day in Grenada

Day 1 In Grenada

My day started at 3am, I crawled out of bed and got dressed all of the kids where still sleeping so I couldn’t say goodbye. We rushed out the door because we didn’t want to be late so I couldn’t even say goodbye to Roger but he ended up meeting me at the multi purpose center, I started crying. We loaded my bags onto the buss and my host mom said goodbye to me. I think that was one of the worst feelings that I had had in a long time. I was getting so comfortable in St. Lucia I think that if I could pick one place so far to move back to it will be St. Lucia. Any ways the St. Vincent and Grenada people got on the buss to the airport, I think the worst part of the trip was getting all of my luggage from place to place. I think that if I could change how I packed I would. We had to switch Plaines in Barbados but I made it to Grenada by 10:30am. I was greeted by the Grenada PC director he helped us get threw customs. When we got outside there was a welcome EC 85 sign with all of the current volunteers, they handed out snacks, water and hand made necklaces with local spices. Then we all got on the bus and headed to the PC office where we had more snacks and introductions. It was a lot to take in but it was an amazing feeling to be finally in Grenada and getting started. At 12 my host mother came to pick me up I was the first one to meet their host parents. We headed up the windy roads and up to the top of a hill. They have a huge house that over looks a good part of the island. My host father is a police officer who is about to retire, my host mother runs a restaurant, and my host brother is 24 and going to school to be an engineer.  I have a nice room with lots of closet space and my own bathroom. So far I have not been able to Wi-Fi in the house but we will see. I slept most of the day because I was so tiered from my trip. I had chicken roti for dinner with lemonade. One of my two bags did not come yet from the airport so I didn’t have all of my stuff, so I am hopping it comes tomorrow. Its been a long day and
