Me kno nah some Creolese man

First off, there are Hotdogs in Guyana.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..but they call them sausages(which i am a huge fan of :)! I had my first one last night along with fried plantains=I am still chubby white meat/that is what they call me…along with other unnecessary obscenities.

It is absolutely beautiful here...Im not sure if i have been smiling or sweating more.
We went from Georgetown(the capitol) across a river on a speedboat for an hour to where we are doing our training now in Queenstown, On the Essequibo Coast!. (Me go to the pink chuch in Queenstown nah driver...thats what I tell them):)

I just met my host family yesterday. My Host moms name is Shurene, I call her Hotmomma because it is so hot here...she giggles when I say it…and pretends not to like it, but im positive she does.My host dads name is Grayson..but everyone calls him G. (WHAT UP G!?!) And I have two sisters Candeaca( Candy ) and Sushma( Sushi.)(my two favorite things from back home.)

When i walk down the sanded road i see palm trees and goats,4 kids on one bike and guyanese people "gaffing" in the shade. I get "sipped" at which is their way of getting my attention. (its like sipping out of a straw noise) Im greeted with gudmawnin and gudaftt and gud night. Kids run up and give you high fives and the biggest smiles you have ever seen.

I go to bed under my mosiquito net which I think is pretty fancy and makes me feel like princess.I feel today that this is exactly where I am meant to be.



Peace, Love and Creolese!
