Day 2-07.01.11

Waking up to the roosters today was crazy.  From now on, this journal will primarily be in outline format with notes along with it:
morning:
-breakfast: yummy yogurt, bread, fruit
-clean up with Naomi and Ben
-orientation....long, and inside due to the rain, although we did get to sit in our crazy creeks...yay!
-med interview while everyone else went into town
-lunch: brie, ham, bread, BEST mango and pineapple I have ever had
-lunch clean up
afternoon:
-carpentry orientation with Vince, learned what types of tools we would be using
-shower---2 minutes...navy style!
-walked around town a little bit, and jumped rope with a little girl at "la place"
     ~called "les americaines"
-bathroom/toilet orientation with Rebecca so that I understand how the darn things worked
-scavenger hunt around town in the rain-people let us onto their porches
-saw/met Geriche, Andriche, and Chantal Petit for the first time
-Geriche asked me about my Ray-Bans
evening:
-dinner
-dinner clean up/dishes....a crazy time once again
-James and Aidan arrived, yay!
-first bilan, and because Melody Vice was playing, we had to move to the road to the Grande Ravine
-shared with Michaela
     ~high point and low point of the last year
-fists...peace tradition started
-Ora and I ran back to the bathroom

***Melody Vice played all day, and one of the guys there threw our frisbee onto the roof and he went to get it but wound up falling on the way down...pretty scary
