As for what I've been up to in the past week or so...

We think there's a sunken ship over there...
We're hoping to get some scuba gear to check it out

 Last weekend it rained. Buckets. Even though the weather is like that for over half of the year here, folks don't like to go out in the rain. In fact, they just don't go out in the rain. Following suit, I spent Friday and Saturday mostly hanging out at home catching up with the splendid folks that I live with. On Sunday, the sun finally came out, so Joscelin and I dutifully spent the day at the beach.

My favorite beach. A person can really think here :)

This is not just an attempt at being artsy,
but you can also barely see a dedicated group
of ladies who do daily water aerobics.
They are a chatty, charming bunch and I
hope I am half as cool as them when I grow up

I should probably stop trying to do my homework at the beach

Check out Coco (still alive and kicking)
with his new girlfriend, Poule Grise (Grey Hen).
Yes, that's her name.

 Because we were all pretty cooped up in the house, I wound up sharing some wonderful meals and conversation with my housemates as well as my two closest friends here, Matilda and Konrad.

Despite Youma's previous plans, Coco was not a part of dinner. As with many things around here, I guess that will be postponed.

Here's what Matilda and I wound up eating instead :)

and this is Matilda

and this is the Myspace self-pic that I promised earlier.

Sadly, I didn't snap any pics at our family dinner (plus, Konrad). It was a really cool Créole dinner with some incredible cooking (no thanks to me). It was the first time that we have had the whole house all together at once and it was so great to see how we all click. So much laughter, so much good company, and once again, so many lessons.
