We recently lost a new student, Ms. Maria, so Wednesday and Thursday, I took her around the island to get her some culture.
Wednesday, we went to the city of St. George's, where we hiked around, saw the sights, did a little shopping, and ate some local food.
Friday, we went to the city of Gouyave, where every Friday, they hold an event called Fish Friday, where all the local vendors come out and cook different varieties of fish in different ways. There's music, liquor, and it's just an overall cool experience. We crammed into a "reggae bus," which is virtually just a big van that goes VERY fast on curves and blasts loud soca (soul calypso) music.
Then, we hit up Fish Friday:
Overall, we had a good time. Good food and good laughs.
Monday, we had our first set of classes...it was the best time ever.
Today, another set of classes.
Tonight, one of the girls in our dorms is having her birthday, so we'll be going out to dinner for her and possibly be going to Banana's for their 2-for-1 night.
