from Katie- Hello All! Wishing you all a Happy Fathers Day (thinking of you Mom and Todd)! I hope all my family and friends in the Midwest are safe during this time of flooding and tornados. You all are making the news down here!!! It rained here today as well, but it was needed and enjoyed. I have been staying with Tony and Claire Howorth, they have been wonderful hosts and treating me like family. My vocational day was excellent, I went to Sandilands Geriatric Hospital, Persis Rogers Home of the Aged and the Ministry of Health. It was an eyeopening experience! I continue to make connections with other professionals and am looking forward to corresponding once back in the states. We have been all over New Providence- we went the brewery (all in the name of world peace), swimmiong, Atlantis for a tour (amazing!), Dundas Theatre, the National Trust to see the wetlands and Plam trees and to Junkanoo (thats music and dancing). We also saw the oldest bottle of wine (1700's) worth quarter of a million dollars. It was only a few feet away from me- boy was I nervous! I made sure there was always someone between me and the expensive wines. otherwise i would be living here in the Bahamas paying off my tab for the next 20 years! We have been busy giving presentations and meeting with the local Rotary groups daily. They have given us a warm welcome We are off to the straw market tomorrow and then to Abaco on tuesday.
