Mystery Pool by night...
Last night was a pretty chill night. I wasn't feeling the greatest but sat and walked on the beach with the guys. My spirits perked up a bit when we stopped at this little bar along the beach. I didn't want anything so I waited outside at a table for the others to come back out and some girl came running out towards me. She asked me if I was a Nittany Lion because she saw my shirt (it said Penn State on it). I said yes and it turns out she was too! Another Penn Stater in Grenada. Haha! It was pretty cool. What a small world. You have to travel thousands of miles to meet someone you live in the same city as. Haha! Well after we walked back to the hotel we decided to go for a late night swim. It was pretty cool. I didn't stay long but it was fun while I was there.
Today we ate breakfast and then played some tennis. Yes tennis. There are courts here and they have rackets at the front desk, you just have to ask for them. At first I thought it was going to be a miserable rainy day but it cleared up while we were playing. It got really hot out and we headed for the pool. Stayed there for hours and ate lunch, layed out, played on the rocks (see the new pics), and hung out in the whirlpools. Later I went in search of mangos but the vendors within a mile of here didn't seem to have any that late in the day. I settled for a mango smoothie from the mall. Haha! Settled....haha.
Rene's mom wants to cook dinner for us tomorrow! How sweet of her is that? Looks like we're going to our last Fish Friday tomorrow night. It's sad because now that I'm looking back at this summer it doesn't feel like I've been here for 9 weeks already. I've had the time of my life and will always remember this experience. I'm going to miss it.
So here's a part about this internship that I think should be worked on for next year:
Have cell phones. Get at least one cell phone for the entire group with plenty of minutes for local calls. Find out how much it would reasonably cost for the summer for a given amount of local calls and then whatever the students use beyond that they pay for themselves or something like that. Communication between us and the Ministry people was so much better when we had cell phones. I've been deemed the communications person of the group so they mostly called me, so at least one cell phone. We had to turn the ones the University Club gave us in before we left yesterday. I emailed Mr. Thomas and Mr. Cato about this change yesterday afternoon but the email wasn't received until a little too late this morning and Mr. Thomas had been trying to reach our cell phones. No cell phone = some problems.
