hello!
we’re in georgetown, safe and sound. it’s been a long day of travelling – we had a 7 hour layover in toronto (tara met us and it was great because the time flew by), then we caught the red eye to trinidad. i was sitting beside an overweight guy who was spilling over to my seat, and he had obvious sleep apnea, so he would wake himself up with gasping, choking, snores every couple of minutes.
anyway, all is well. it’s not too hot yet here, but it’s only 7:30 in the morning and it’s gotten significantly hotter just in the hour or so we’ve been here.
the drive from the airport into the city reminded me so much of the philippines. as we were driving there would be a random farm animal (cow, donkey, rooster, dog) just hanging out on the highway. our driver would honk and swerve around it without even slowing down!
we’re staying in a guesthouse until the 20th (we think). they’ve given us today off to sleep and get settled, and tomorrow we start our training.
a big thank you to all of you for your support and encouragement in our preparation for coming here!
we’ll post pics and more stories soon!
