Day #8 Scavenger hunt

Today was are overview of some of the medical stuff, funguses, rashes and paretics that we could possibly contract white we are in the PC EC. I would like to say that I feel very comfortable with the PC and the medical attention that I will be receiving if I get sick. Although I am not exited with the things that I could get because I am very susceptible to getting sick wether that be home sick or food poising so we will see. The PC is teaching us how to re hydrate, clean wounds and many more things its amazing how grate the training is between mental and physical. After that It was time for are trip into town for are scavenger hunt. We just had to fine some of the main dates of when places like the church were built, we also went to the public library, post office and some markets. We walked through the fish market today and that was cool I really wanted to see  that for some reason. When we found everything we headed back up to the compound and along the was we stopped at a music store that just happened to have a hair salon up stairs, so Gabi got her hair done, it was so amazing to watch the process. I was telling the woman that some people think that I am going to become a complete hippy and get dreadlocks lol and I did consider the locks (google it). Then it was off to dinner and games and computer in the compound.

Fun day
much love

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.  
Sleep good everyone love you xoxoxoxox

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.
