16 Jan PM – Home Away From Home

This trip has been taxing on our sanity, patience, and bodies. At the same time, its been an enriching and important learning experience. Away from home and the United States, naturally uncomforatble situations are bound to occur. Luckily, no matter what wonderful occurances or testing challenges our days bring us, the talented and kind women in the kitchen always take good care of us. No matter how water logged, stressed, tired, or excited we are, they have comforting food waiting for us. So far we have a variety of fish, chicken cooked many different ways, ham, varieties of rice, salads, fruits, breads, sweets, and specialty Jamaican drinks all prepared with pure talent. We are all convinced we are gaining pounds of body weight from all the fantastic meals, despite all our physical activity. [ed: The instructors must reluctantly report that weight gain on this trip is a fact.]

In addition, meal times have become cherished moments of bonding. We all have a similar interest to teach and learn with one another. So as we learn and bond, things can get pretty silly sometimes inbetween the work. For instance when Brad, Joe, or John start singing Christmas carols and other musical numbers.
