It's back blog!!!
I herd from little bird that a lot more people read my blog that than I thought so have been brain storming from last month and this month that are the highlights that will be going into this blog. I do apologize for missing last month I got busy and lazy I will admit. So here is a little re wind and add on of April enjoy!!!!!
So let's start with April. We finished sports with a bang competition with the teachers as always not so good for the kids but they had a good time. My school had a dj and cooked roti for lunch! I also attended another sports day in Woban that was fun. They we're much more organized has Lars of food to chose from I had a hot dog that was yummy. I got to see a lot of my friends kids doing their sports running and jumping that was fun. Also this month I started trying to reach out to new people and make some new connections so I ended up going with a group of people every other Sunday to the beach. One of my friends we will call him ken he has a van that's reminds me of me and my moms old golf, that's the kind of car that we had in Berkley CA! You had to do a billion different things at once. Any ways his can is the same it's fun though we call it the manic school buss boy is that thing durable. Any ways everyone brings something and we swim eat and hang out. Some of them gamble and that's funny because they are all related so they win each others money, not much bit it's funny to watch. We went to a beach that had a rope swing so the girls pushed me on it and the boys played soccer it was nice. Not to much other exiting stuff happened I have been painting my bottles like crazy trying to get cough up. I had a few orders from peace corps that needed to be finished before May and I sold some ones at the stores I'm know so I need to replace those. I am doing well.

Mid service traning
It has been a year since we all lived and had turning in St. Lucia. This last week May 13-18th was a grate re visit back to see all of are trainers, the island, and the people that we first started this adventure together with. Let me tell you that the trainings in the beginning of service where dull and very general, now that a year has passed and we have dug deeper into are sites and jobs we have all become new people and have stories to tell. This training was more based on up coming events, accomplishments and working as a group. We stayed at the hotel called Palm Haven near Rodny Bay. Training was Tuesday- Friday, we also had are mid service training check ups, I got blood work done, an eye check and my physical. I had also been sick for three weeks with a cough so they cheeked that but they did not fin anything so that was good.
I think that people had more time to catch up at dinner and lunch rather than during training, we got to eat some really good food at the restaurant and hotel. Breakfast and lunch were provided and then for dinner was all went out as a group. The first night we went to Sushi!!! Oh how I miss all the food choices in the states but I've grown in my healthy choices of food. Any ways Sushi was sooo good. The second night we had Indian food, and the third night I went out and I got Italian food. One other interesting thing about where we where staying is that the marina was close by and they had one of the original boats from Pirates Of The Caribbean. They turned it into a bar and I got to go on and take pictures of the boat. It was so much fun.
One of the trainers had a catamaran (boat) I got to drive it from the house where it was parked out to see it was so much fun and I did not crash into any other boats. When we where on the water the sun was going down and we saw the green line. I thought it was fake from the Pirates Of The Caribbean movie but its a real thing. Its a little flash right as the sun goes down.
Thursday night a big group of us walked to the Director of the Caribbean Peace Crops house she cooked dinner, we had lasagne, garlic bread and salad. For desert I had a cup cake and a small piece of brownie. It was a very good night the ones who could sing played their guitars and sang songs. The rest of us talked and mingled with the staff.
Friday night was a review of grants to raise funds for the up coming camps, and a step over a line into the last year of are service. It was a good day and then we went out to Grossy Lett street fet to dance the night away.
Saturday was the big day for me I got up and got ready to go and meet my host mother who had come to pick me up. She and my host brother Arron did not even recognize me because I had lost so much weight. When I got to the farm they had added a security gate, painted the walls and added some new woman to the staff. I was so exited that they had a woman supervisor now. I was the first woman to my knowledge to work on the farm other than my host fathers wife. I was so exited to be back, except my favourite good friend that I made on the farm was on break. to my surprise he came down from the north of the island just to see me, he barley recognized me either, that was funny. We got to catch up latter after lunch. I had a grate time talking to my host father and sisters.
Sunday I got to sleep in and then I got ready for church. I knew that it would make my host mother happy so I decided to go. It was fun getting all dressed up with the girls. Sunday was good I ate lunch when I came home and then went to help Kervin on the farm. Then I went to go see some other friends and say good buy. I met the other peace corps volunteers at the air port. My host brother started to cry, he is very close with me when I am around. It was a fast flight home and I was happy to be back in Grenada.
