Today is Sunday and it is my relax and do nothing day, yesterday was a long day and I fell a sleep at 8:30pm and woke up at 9am today. I think I needed to catch up on my rest. When I got up the house was quiet no one was home but my host brother and he is down on the lower level in the house so I don't see him very often. So I had some coco tea. Before I tell you what I had for breakfast I want to give you a fun fact for the day. In both St. Lucia and Grenada the people like to cook with two main things one curry and two ketchup. I know thats strange in St. Lucia my host mother put ketchup on everything rice, plantains, and even used it as a sauce to cook with. So something they do a lot here is cut up hotdogs and onions and add ketchup to cook it in. So today I had ham with ketchup and onions. One thing that i have gotten into that I have not really been into is music. In the US I would listen to the radio but not really listen to my iPod but here I use it all the time, I listen to music while I'm on the computer, when I walk, when I work out, or even just sitting on the porch, its nice. I was watching some people fly kites, they get o high over the city. I wish I could take pictures it would be such a beautiful picture. Any ways when my host mother got home she cooked chicken, fish, yams, sweet potatoes, rice and made salad. Another PCV is coming over to eat with us. I had a grate dinner with my host mother and Stephanie we talked about so many different things, I found out were the dance classes are that I will be attending, I found out that I can come to the dancing summer camp outside of work. I am sad that it is during my training but I will get a feel for it because in April she will be doing it again and I want to help do it. After we ate and talked we walked up to my apartment complex, that was so exiting I didn't get to see my apartment but I got to see Stephanie's who will be living right above me, she said that they are different but similar. It was beautiful we have a banana tree, two types of mango trees and a lime tree in are back yard. Their are bars on the windows, and she said that all of the people around us watch out for each other and are good people. I cant wait to live on my own I need to get a few things for my place like a blender but other than that it is furnished. Also the volley ball court where I will be playing is right down from my apartment I got to see it and people where playing. They play so good they really play. The place I will be dancing salsa is right down the street too so that will be very nice and convenient, ohhhh I cant wait. Stephanie also said something about maybe teaching a swing class, lindy hop. Stephanie used to dance as well so we have a lot in common. She is special ed and dances shes also going to live above me. Two more weeks!!!!!! But I will be dancing on thursday nights to start with and volley boll on sundays to start with. Outside of work activates are coming together. Me and my host mom walked back and did a little shopping foe her restaurant, she bakes every morning and cooks. It was a good day. So goodnight all I'm going to bed so I can get up at 5am and walk with my host father.
