We finally made it to Friday! After a busy week in the
classroom we decided to head over to the main island to do a few errands on
Friday. We left school a little early just so we could catch the bus in time to
make it to the post office. Virginia had to mail a package home and we needed
to make it to the post office before it closed. On our way to town we saw
dophins on the boat ride. They were swimming and jumping right beside the boat.
I have never see dolphins in the ocean before and it was so awesome.
We arrived to the main island and headed towards the post
office. We walked inside the post office and about froze. They have air
conditioning on really high in there and none of us are used to having air
conditioning anymore. I remember Dana and I were standing waiting for Virginia
and we were just cold. After the post office we had to meet Shivaun to pick up
a few packages. She was running a little late so we decided we should eat
somewhere while we are in town. Dana and I are trying to try all the different
places to eat so we know which ones we should take our parents to when they
come. We found this café and decided we were going to try it out. After living
with each other for three months this is the first time we went out to eat at a
restaurant together! How crazy is that! We felt so out of place at the
restaurant I mean I haven’t been to a nice place to eat since arriving here.
The food was great and it was nice not having to prepare the meal for once. I
sound so adult…
We met up with Shivaun and got our packages. We had 10
packages and we had to take them all on the bus back to the island with us.
Thank goodness Lucy offered to help us with them. So we had some help catching
a bus. While waiting for the bus it started to rain. We had no place to go
undercover so now our boxes were all wet and starting to break. It was quite an
experience getting back to the island. The locals all helped us get the
packages back to our house. I am really going to miss that when I get home.
We had the Mormon church dance tonight. We had no idea what
to expect at the dance. We knew that it was a Halloween party for the kids. We
were really bored and decided to put make up since we never wear it here. I don’t
think I have worn any since I was back home. So we put some make up and headed
to the party. The kids looked so adorable. Oh my goodness. Sometimes when I see
them I feel like a Mom because we just point at them and talk about how cute
they are. I mean they are adorable. Of course the second we got there they
wanted us to dance so we got up and danced with kids. Let me tell you these
kids can dance and I have NO dancing skills. I may have looked like a fool but
seeing how excited the kids got about it made it all worth it in the end. At
the party we just ate food, played games, and danced. It was a lot of fun and
we were all glad that we decided to attend the dance.
With Love,
Abby
