What's New

Hello....so this is going to be a short but sweet entry.
On Tuesday we had another Campana de Limpieza....a Trash Pick-up. It went pretty well although it wasn't as well planned as last time or the same amount of participation. But we cleaned up the public areas of the community pretty well.













HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so with me being such a halloween lover, there was no way i could pass up this wonderful holiday without celebrating, even if it meant risking looking like a freak.
so i held a party for my friends and at first i didn't think anyone was going to come cuz they were all complaining that they didn't have anything to wear but in the end it all worked out and my friends really got into it! It was a blast!
We were all dressed up, listening to music, eating and instead of carving pumpkins, because I couldn't find any, we drew jack-o-lantern faces on orange balloons. And then, we all piled into the bed of my friends truck and drove through town screaming "HAPPY HALLOWEEN!" and throwing candy to everyone we passed. It was really fun! And driving around in my friend's truck reminded me of how my dad used to drive us around the neighborhood in uncle george's tractor. good times good times! I hope everyone had a delightfully fun halloween.

Happy Halloween Nat!!! I love the pumpkin balloons, that's histerical. We had all the Jamaicans over to our house for halloween and they carved their first pumpkins (they have pumpkins there, but don't carve them. They say its 'playing with your food'. lol) That flooding looks really bad. I hope you all stay safe. You really should get a mosquito net or something to keep the skeeters off of you. They can carry some bad diseases. Glad you had a fun halloween. We love you!

Hi, we don't know each other, but I found your blog googling Isla de Mendez. I volunteered there with a public health student group that visits yearly. It's great you're there, I loved it, it was a powerful experience. Sad to read they still burn trash, we tried to est a community pick-up that paid a couple of guys to cart the stuff to a landfill...guess it didn't work out. Best of luck!
