BLOG

(no title)

So yesterday, I was going to write a blog apologizing
to everyone for holding them up the other day when we went
on the island tour. However last night, my computer
wouldn't let me connect to the Hartford website for some
reason. So I will post what I can about the day before
yesterday.
That day... We went on the island tour exploring and gaining
knowledge about the birthing stones, hearing stories of
Pele, swimming on the beach that can get waves as high as 45
feet! I must add as a personal note that swimming on a beach in
your clothing....NOT A GOOD IDEA. SAND. That is all that need be said. Let's just say that when you go out into the
ocean then come back, you come back with a present that you
can share with the rest of the group. :). So that was the
first hold up was me washing off the sand as much as
possible. The next one was going into the Dole Plantation
which I should have never gone inside in the first
place...or at least ignored the pearl bargaining. Never
doing that again. Yeah the reason for the hold up there was
because they were having issues with my credit card. So
again I apologize for the hold up.
As for yesterday-aside from my phone falling 8
stories...I went snorkeling with Laura, Debbie, and Brittany
which was amazing because we got to see all different types
of fish. In fact there was one point in time where we were
at a spot where a hug piece of coral lay below us and all of
a sudden these striped (sorry I can't remember the name
right now) fish started schooling at the area we were at.
So this was not only amazing, but it was scary as well
because we were worried about the fish swimming right by
(like right next to) us. But it was interesting needless to
say.
Today we are performing a service project where we cook
food and give it to the homeless (or houseless however your
preference.) We hope to have interactions with these people
and understand their points of view. Some have said that
being homeless is like being free, but on the other hand,
you do not have the comforts or basic needs. They are needs
that you/one must make for yourself in order to survive.
That is all for now. I hope everyone back home is
enjoying the cold weather while we become bored to tears
that we have to resort to soaking up the sun. ;)
