We arrived on the island of New Province, home to Nassau, on Tuesday evening and were taken to our host homes to settle in and get some sleep. Our next day started late giving us a chance to visit with our hosts for the morning, and then we presented at a lunch meeting and progressed on to tour Greycliffs wine cellar. Theirs is the largest privately owned collection in the world with one bottle from the mid 1700's valued at over $200,000. We also visited their humidor where we watched people rolling cigars. After our dinner, we were treated to a production of two one-act plays by a local playwright at the Dundas Theater. It was performed in local Bahamian dialect and was fun to listen to and try to follow the plot of the play. I truly enjoyed myself.

We started the day with our various vocations, and then we met at College of Bahamas for our second lunch presentation. After lunch, we were back to vocations for the afternoon. Mishay and I were able to tour St. Andrews, a private school, and Oaks Field Primary government school as well as a tour of the College of the Bahamas.
