Last night we were invited out to eat with a group of PCV's who are headed home and have just completed their first year of their assignment. Matt and I had walked to town in the afternoon to restock our lunch supplies and beverage supplies. We lugged the groceries home, a definate upper body workout. After dining in a Japanese restaurant that was almost resort-like, we headed home on a bus. It's absolute pandemonium: the conductor literally hangs out of the bus shouting where the bus is headed. We climbed on and hand to stand holding on to the railing as the bus was full. It's a wild and wooly ride with lots of honking and swerving to avoid cars, motorbikes,etc. It was like being on a ride at DisneyWorld.
The housekeeper at the dorms is a sweet, lively woman who actually lived in New York for five years. She helped us with out language homework one night. A bit of a stretch for her as she hardly speaks Patwa anymore. Well be headed to supper soon: usually chicken, fish, rice and peas, coleslaw, bread. Consuming at least 3-4 water bottlefulls on a daily basis. I feel like a wilted petunia by the end of the day. Had classes and work groups on development work . Lively discussions and our groups have to present a summary at the end.
Love, Karen
