another day...another island!

---

Hello All! We have arrived in the beautiful island of Abaco. We had an early morning (met at the airport at 5am) still dark and i am sure our hosts were happy to go home and back to bed. Sad to say goodbye to Nassau and our host families, but excited for our next destination. Yesterday, we ended our stay at Nassau at the Straw Market on Bay street, was fun shopping! I think we have gained 40lbs since being here (i mean our luggage has gained weight.......). We took a short flight and were met by our hosts in Marsh Harbor, Abaco. We had breakfast and then we all went our seperate ways to get settled in at our host families. We will have our Rotaary meeting tonight and then vocational day tomorrow. Hard to believe we are over half way done, still so much to experience. Keep up your comments its great to hear from everyone!

A Day at School
Mishay, I spent an hour at your school today reading to Bernadette's class of 10 5th graders. They are studying Africa so I had a bunch of African folktales for them. School is not in bad shape except for, well, never you mind...I now think that I will go to Africa with Rotary this September (Kenya) on a water related project. Katie, I worry about you around all that wine too. Save a sip or two for others. Cynthia, the city needs your help. It is over 112 degrees and a little hard to see the benefits of living in the City just now. Wendy the pictures are GREAT! You do have a talent in that regard. Now, really, how is Mark feeling? I could be there a just a few hours...

Abaco and beyond
Another thanks for all of your posts and pictures. Best wishes from both southern Arizona (and Toby) and Oregon. I know each of you have more happening than you can possibly comment on even if you talked non stop for the next year. Take time to breathe and just absorb. We will listen to what you feel like as your mood strikes. Each of you deserve this wonderful experience.
