The Newbies are here!! Guy 23 came in last Tuesday and I was lucky enough to be part of the Welcoming committee!! I was with them all week, talking with them, listening to them and feeding off their excitement. So many questions, and time will answer most of them! It feels good and weird to be old news, its crazy how far you can come in a year!!
...oh and whoaaa rainy season. I got back to work at the school and turned around after 5 steps in thigh high water. Yuck!!! YOu dont even want to know what was floating in there. Day two of school closed because of flooding! But there was still a little sun that came out for Shemars Birthday party!! Pineapple cake, colored sand art and snakes and latters!! = So mucho fuN!!! :)
Tomorrow is Mashramani!!! Hopefully there is more glitter, spandex and giant penis floats cruizing the streets!!!
Peace LOve and RAIN RAIN RAIN!!
