I managed to go to all my schools today and even found the last one. Yay. I loved the parking spot they gave me for that school, and will post a picture of it today. The teachers there for the English program are very nice, I have 4, two men and two women. The women asked to have our pictures taken after the men left so she can post it on her facebook. So I guess I will be on her facebook now too. Also learned that my rural of all rural schools is just before a fishing harbour so if I drive beyond the school just a bit (however that is the term for any distance here) I should be able to purchase fish directly from the fishermen. Once I figure out how to find a cooler to buy, I will definitely do that. But then I also need something to cook it on too. I bravely steered off my route and found another little village that has local fishermen, so will check that out as well, and it is kind of within the school area. I did manage to take a couple of shots of the beach on the way, lovely white sand beach and waves crashing into the shore. No crocs that I could see. I have definitely upped the number of teachers involved in this project so I will still in the good books of the Ministry of Education. I just keep telling them that there is no test or exam, and they will have fun working with me, I hope this is all true. Oh, and a head master at one of the schools took me to the cafeteria and gave me fried bananas. How scrumptious they were. I could eat those again very easily. He also lives very near where I live so had said that I must come to their place for food. I think he really wants some English lessons, which I will be happy to provide. Some of the other teachers keep telling me to live in the village, as it is much safer. Said that my home is in a 'black' area, which means lots of break ins. But with all the crazy locks I have on the doors and bars on every window, I should be quite safe here. Just told to not go out at night and come home alone. So I will heed that warning, besides everyone knows what an early to bed one I am.
Cant think of much else to say, I think I will have a shower and figure out what to eat other than watermelon and papayas. I have to now make maps for each of the places I go to school so others can find their way there too. Not really fair, I had to find them on my own, so everyone should too.
PS. crazy cows are very sneaky. Today they were wearing beige and had big horns too.
from the last few days in Canada and forward, you can join me in my thoughts and actions as I learn how to live in a country that I had not even known the exact location until Ryan was there a few years ago. Some days I have rants and other days I have adventures, but every day is a learning experience that I embrace and thank God I was given the opportunity to know and to be. I might even upload a picture of me in this place I now call home – for now.
