Today I found out that the cows do actually belong to people, somehow the locals just know which one belongs to whom and they just let them wander, wherever.
Last night I went to a local bar with some of the people I met and it was amazing. The bar is made on the side of a mountain and overlooks everything, it's beautiful. Sunsets are therefore quite a sight to see from that view. The funny thing is that in the US they'll pour a splash of rum in a rum and coke and mostly coke, but here, the rum is cheaper so it's mostly rum and a splah of coke since they have to import it.
I also went to he largest grocery store here and its just packed with the oddest combination of things: Jello is near the Q-tips, condoms near the gillet razors and the milk, it's so funny. And they have other things you can purchase there like rope or duct tape bt it just looks like a huge garage sale. There are stray dogs that live on the island, hey all have a name: Paw because he has a whitepaw, Limpy because he limps on three legs and whitey because he has white spots on him even though he's a black dog. And all three of them are friendly, tey travel together and everyone on the island knows them. There is a student organization that works to keep them de-wormed, fed and overall healthy, but they live outside.
Today it is like 92 degrees outside, but it's beautiful. I think 'll head to the gym for a bit, maybe start looking over some of my slides for Monday and head to the beach. Tomorrow is my Island tour - lots of hiking and waerfalls - SO EXCITING!
Hey Barbara,
ReplyDeleteNice to see that you made it in and the first week ok. Looks like you are doing well exploring the neighborhood. Look forward to seeing your home-away-from home with more decorations.
I like the funny bulleted "thoughts" for the day. Keep it going.
The grocery store story is funny, but if you really think about it, I guess it COULD make sense where they put things..... Jello and Q-Tips(interesting decoration for the desert), condoms and milk(hmmmm, kinky), rope and duct tape(watch out for some creepy guy that buys them) (^_^)
Have a safe trip. Love reading your blog.
Study hard.
AWee Barbara,
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are enjoying yourself! I am glad you have already met people and gone out to the bar with rum and cokes made the way they should be :) haha miss you have fun!
