A week of good times!

Since I haven't written in awhile let me take this time to fill you in on the past few days. So much happens in a day!

First let me start by saying today is Independence Day for Palau (October 1) which means NO SCHOOL!! It's so nice to have a day off in the middle of the week and relax. There are a lot of festivities and boat races and what not at the bridge that we will be going to later on today. Good times!

Last weekend a group of 10 of us went with Nelson (our principal) to one of the outer islands called Pelelui. It was so much fun!! It took 2 1/2 hours to get there by boat. (The boat wasn't going very fast) While there we saw beautiful sunsets, all kinds of WWII ruins, went caving where the Japanese stayed and made bombs during WWII, went swimming at a watering hole, went to the highest point on the island, and went body boarding, not to mention I collected some pretty amazing shells. :-D Pictures are coming soon!

Last week I was also bitten up by really tiny microscopic mosquitos. At first everyone thought they were sand fleas but it turned out they weren't. Anyways, they were all over my calves. I had at least 30 bites on each leg, no joke. They all started itching at the same time and I wanted to rip my legs off they itched so bad! Luckily, Ms. Betty, the same lady that fixed up my jellyfish sting had just the right NATURAL remedy and knew just what tree to get medicine from and fixed me up good. I am proud to say that though it still LOOKS like I have leprocy on my legs and it's not very attractive, they do not itch anymore which is fine with me!

On other news...the past couple weeks have been amazing with my kids. I rearranged their desks into groups and it is going so well. They love the competition. One boy actually said to me that school is starting to be so much fun. YAY! Yesterday we went on a small field trip to the health fair down the street and got free t-shirts, water bottles, and first aid kits. They had a blast! Oh and one more thing...my class loves to brake dance! I have great video and pictures of them brake dancing. We have so much fun.

Well that is all for now. Until next time! Love and blessings to all. :-D
