A quick hello from all of us! We moved from Kingstown to Barrouallie (pronounced Bar-uh-lee, preferably with a Caribbean accent). on the 3rd, and have been living in the primary school here in town. We have been planning for our summer camp, which starts on July 14th, as well as been interacting with the local community (especially the children), and exploring the natural beauty of the Island through sunset swims at the warf, and excursions to local waterfalls. Tomorrow we are planning on hiking up the island's volcano!
On Monday and Tuesday we took excursions back into Kingstown (it's about a 40 minute drive from our town) to celebrate Vincey Mas. Monday was J'ouvert, which was a huge dance party in the streets with face/body painting and Soca music. Tuesday was Mardi Gras, and featured a costume competition and parade, with eye popping, colorful costumes.
We miss everyone at home and hope you are having as wonderful a summer as we are!
Here are a few pictures from our trip:
