Man alive, I'm convinced that internet and air conditioning are the two greatest inventions of this era.
I followed this doctor man to school today so I could get a rare taste of both:
I might sit in this library all day, even though I'm so not qualified to be here.
Grenada has been a roller coaster so far.
The mangoes, beaches, and tropical thunderstorms have been unbeatable.
The mosquito bites, power surges, and loss of husband to school . . . I could do without.
A couple nights ago after our desktop computer got fried and we were feeling especially homesick, we turned out the lights, turned on the AC, lit up our favorite fall candle (Leaves by Bath & Body Works), and listened to the rain fall, pretending like it was autumn here.
The next day we were working our way through some last morsels of homesickness, so when Jared got home from orientation meetings we hopped on a bus and got some KFC for dinner (the KFC here is waaaay better than it is in the states . . . and I always liked KFC in the states). Afterwards, we came home and watched my favorite Christmas movie, Home Alone, on Jared's laptop. We've been just burning through all seasons over here. I'll probably hide eggs this Sunday.
I'm needy, so the next night we watched the same movie again, accompanied by a lovely freezer pizza just for us.
The longer we're here though, and the more I get used to maneuvering the streets of this third world country, the more we like it. Things are going to be great.
Oh, and here's a happy picture of me with a puppy on our last day in the states. My aunt and uncle breed these Golden Doodles, and they are just the most precious things. This picture's for you, Dottie.
