life is sweet: Thank You, Philip =)

Philip left at 5am this morning. I can't thank him enough how much he's helped me settle over here. He's done more than enough! Despite the fact that I was going to classes, we managed to fit in some fun before the workload got tough. We went kayaking, snorkeling, and rode on a dinghy. We also went to Fish Friday which happens every Friday in Gouyave (northwest Grenada). It was a long scary mountainous drive on the bus, but when we got there it was worth it! Tons of fish fish fish cooked in all ways possible Fish nuggets, fried fish, fish kabobs, grilled fish, boiled fish, fish fish. There were other seafoods too, as well as breads. They had drinks, local juices, and even icecream! We shared the nutmeg icecream, although the raisin rum sounded appealing too. We also spent time trying out tons of different foods, whether they were nice restaurants to eat out, food court food, food at the Caribbean stands, or local Grenadian food. We both love eating, but we don't like how it makes our body feels so.... we took time in our days to work out at the SGU gym too! The gym's not bad. It's pretty nice with air conditioning too. I hope to make a lot of use out of it. During orientation we also had tours to Annandale Falls and the Grand Etang National Rainforest. We didn't get to see the rainforest though (missed the wild monkeys!) becaused it rained out, but the waterfall was pretty! Despite how badly bitten up Philip got from mosquitoes, I hope he enjoyed his two week stay here. I miss him already!

Didn't get to take pictures of everything we did, but here are some random ones taken:
