Cynthia's Comments: We are halfway through this awesome adventure and have met some wonderful people along the way. Attached to this blog are some photos of our new friends that have helped to make this experience extra special for our team. Thus far, we've been to the Cayman Islands and Nassau, Bahamas and are now experiencing life in Marsh Harbour on the island of Abaco in the Bahamas. Each location has its own unique charm yet they all have two things in common -- friendly people and delicious food! In Nassau, we attended cultural events in addition to participating in vocational experiences. I met with media representatives at the two major Nassau newspapers, visited each of their radio stations and participated in a live radio interview about the Group Study Exchange experience. We also attended a mini Junkanoo celebration on Paradise Island and were told to fully appreciate the Junkanoo experience, we should come back for the traditional celebration on December 26 or New Year's Day. I thought that the mini celebration was awesome so I could only imagine how exciting the full length parade is at the end of the year.
