So this weekend has been the first bit of sun we have seen in over a week! So you can tell just how excited everyone was when it finally warmed up (lol, that is such a relative term.. I as a Canadian, never really felt it was cold but everyone else sure did complain!) and the sun came out.
I spent Friday and Saturday working on my major project for school which is organizing and hosting a hearing screen for people with hearing loss so that they can have hearing aids made/fitted by an American group who wants to donate them. It was a great project, and I put tons of work into it, however only 5 people showed up. That is both sad and discouraging because I know more people on the island really could have used the hearing aids, but what can you do.. I can't force them to come! And I did advertise with posters, TV and radio ads.

Then the rest of the weekend I spent catching up on sleep and homework that had been neglected while I worked on my project. Sunday afternoon I took a break from school stuff to go to the beach with my family. Sunday is beach day and I figured I deserved a study break! lol! We went snorkling but I got stung by a jellyfish-type thing and that quickly ended the fun of snorkling for the day. But then I walked on the beach for awhile and we stayed to watch the beautiful sunset and the firedancers. The firedancers put on a sweet little show on the beach each Sunday night and it was really spectacular. And I even managed to get a few decent pics of it.. not that any of my pics do this island justice but its the best I can do to share it with you.
Wow the pictures are beautiful - what a time you are having!
