Lot of Learning

So parts of the island are just beautiful, but in reality where the people live is what we would consider ghetto. It is weird though, I live in a Grenadian community, and I already feel comfortable here. We have got a good handle on the reggae bus system, but the school buses are not on there regular schedule, because they are still on holiday. The other semesters start the 11th. We have orientation starting the 13th, and then classes start the 18th. We register for classes during orientation. Dwaine's financial aid just cleared everything yesterday.Talk about cutting it close! What a relief. So the reggae buses are cool, they are more like 15 passenger vans. They run often and it is 2.50ec- 0.94 us, every time you get off, so if you go one mile down the road or 6 miles, same price. We went to the city of St. George yesterday. It is about 6-7 miles from where we live, so a bit far to walk. We bought some spices, and some fruit at the market. There was a lady at one of the fruit stands, and she explained what each of the fruit was, and cut us up a sugar apple and gave it to us for free. I tasted like a pineapple, but was firm like an apple. It did not look like either one. We bought several types of fruit from her. Then one lady was selling coconut. She chopped the top off with a machete and sticks a straw in it. Then we drank the coconut milk. Then she opens it all the way and scrapes out the meat, and we ate it. All for 3 ec - 1.12us. We then went to the fish market, and bought a just caught red snapper, we had them fillet it for us and we ate some of it last night. We are really learning a lot, it seems like everyday I learn so much, and I am not even in school yet.
