Day #7 Training and good cake

Today was interesting we had more training, their is going to be a lot of training but today we focused on how not to draw attention to yourself and how easily you can become a target in your community.  We did a lot of games and examples. They try to keep it interesting by having us get in groups and work together, what we think, how we can change it. Its kind of nice so we can wake up. After training some of us walked to the store just to do something different. When we came back I decided to get my camera batteries because I need them, its part of my stress reliever to take pictures , it keeps me busy and happy. One of the men that works for the PC told me that if I order them from Amazon that they would get to me so thats what I did. Any ways today Im a bit home sick and I miss all of the hugs and loves from home but tomorrow I think is going to be lots of fun we are going to have a scavenger hunt in town and go and see the main office for the PC. Any who nothing to exiting today

Love you all and miss you bunches

Day #5 Beach baby

After lunch we went back up to the compound and played on the computers and then went to the beach . The beach was incredible we got to go on the side of the resort so the beach was soft sand. We all had a grate time. I swam out way farther than any other time, i didn't have my glasses or contacts so I couldn't see the bottom and me and chase looked down and their was something on the bottom so we turned around. It was Chases first time in the ocean I didn't know that until we got back. We all looked for cool rocks and shells that was fun. at the end of the evening all 25 of us were down on the beach watching the sunset. After was dinner, Mash potatoes, chicken , and salad. Then it was games and movies with the group. It was a fun free day.

Day #5 St. Lucia capital (Castries)

Good morning world, today was are free day in St. Lucia and we decided that after breakfast that we would go and explore the capital city. Even though it was a Sunday their was an amazing vibe people where setting up stands, church people all dressed up, fruit stands, music and it was a incredible. We went as a group of 8. I was comfortable we felt safe but we were a where of what was around us. We got to see the church and talked to the pastor, waked threw a park, market and even down the streets that we where not supposed to by accident. It was a good outing, even the bus system was easy to use, not packed and everyone spoke english and where nice. After the city we all went back for lunch it was so yummy. beens mac and cheese, tuna salad, chiken and fish. Latter were are going to see the sunset on the beach. I left my camera plugged into my computer and I think I fried my battery. I really wish that some of the camera companies would use real batteries. So now I am on a hunt for a new batteries for my camera. I am so happy I brought back up cameras. Thank goodness for Gabby she let me use here apple phone to take all of the picks that I wanted it was so sweet and what I needed.

Day #4 St.Lucia Market evening

So I know I wrote a post a few hours ago but i want to keep everyone updated, also people in are compound are down stairs all talking and playing on their computers so I feel the need to be amongst it. So tonight after the beach I came back and relaxed for a bit, and then I went down around 4:30pm and got my rabies shot, she was so gentle it was nice. I still wish I had someone to hold my hand but I am growing up and need to be strong and learn to do stuff alone.  So after that a big group of went to the market and that was fun, rushing cars playing kids. Kind of crazy but an amazing feeling to be walking down a road with lush vegetation a nice breeze and people all over. I felt safe but I was still a where of my surroundings. I got some candy from the island that I have never had and it was yummy. We all had a good time. We got back just in time for dinner. Dinner was amazing chicken curry and a bread like thing that was like a tortilla, and salad. Now all 25 of us are absorbing the wifi and sitting at the bottem of are compound talking playing games. It was a good night.

Sleep good everyone love you    

Day #4 St. Lucia first day at the beach

Today I woke up at 6:30am and get ready for breakfast. I was exited that I got Elsbeth for my roommate. Note to self and other sometimes you should shaver the night before because in the mornings their is not that much water because everyone is using it. Any ways We headed down for breakfast, their was a small selection but I had an omelet, toast with butter and jam, and juice. After their that today was the first day of some of the medical stuff. It was an overview of what were going to be talking about over the next few days. We did a small quiz, nothing big just to see what we knew and what we still need to talk about. Apparently we will be receiving a water purification system when we leave here to take with us to are countries, its going to be ceramic. We also got sunscreen, bug spray and a first aid kit that has everything in it. We took a break and we had banana bread and plantains, soooo yummy. After that we all got to go in alone and talk to the nurse, she just re checked to make sure we didn't get any new sicknesses. I am glad that it was over fast but the worst is to come SHOTS!!!!! I think I just need rabies thank god. After was the best part we went to the beach. It was so  amazing and unreal. Soooo amazing beautiful. One of the girls got stuck with a sea urchin. It was a long hike back but i loved it. Its amazing here.  I cant wait until I get to my own island. I am here at the group lodging until Sunday and then I meet my first host family in St. Lucia, and then I will have a second host family in Grenada when I get their. So far I am feeling ok with being away from my family and boyfriend but I am sure that it will hit me soon.  More from today latter I got to go. buy buy
