Welcome!

This blog is to track my journey to Jamaica. In March I will be traveling to Jamaica with a small group from school to help people that are in need. I hope that you will enjoy living this adventure through me every step of the way. Enjoy!

Day 4: Service Work

This morning we were supposed to be outta here by 8 o'clock a.m. Well...that didn't happen. It seems to be a trend for us to be late for everything but as the Jamaicans say, "No worries mon'" So that gets you a little side tracked. But we got to the school none the less and started working on the rest of the buildings we had to paint. I was unable to do any of the painting involving rollers because my allergies have been really bad down here and i had to wear my glasses so my eyes would stop burning so bad. We decided to finish painting on Sunday because the kids weren't there and it was much easier to work faster. After we were done painting everything the owner/teacher of the school made us a delicious lunch that consisted of fish and rice and peas (which are red beans not peas like we think of). We also were served a cup of carrot and beet juice which had a very distinct taste. We left the school and went back to the hotel because we were supposed to go on a boat ride with a man named Moses but the water has been really rough here so we couldn't go. Instead we chilled at the hotel for awhile some people went to the beach, well everyone except me, and then we decided to go to 23/7 which is a bar/ resteraunt just down the beach from us. We stayed there for while and talked to some of the locals. However since it was a pretty long day, we turned in for the night a little early so we could be ready for tomorrow. Now I'm ready for bed so i'll be prime for tomorrow. Goodnight!
