I can't wait!

Today was an eventful day.

We had a great time doing LOTS of things!

We finished a majority of both of our murals and we can’t wait to get them done and see our final product, although we ran out of steam pretty fast. 

We played with the kids again and I had at least fifteen of them hanging on my shoulders, some of us even got fabulous braids from the kids. 

We went on a glass bottom boat ride and I saw at least 24 starfish. A couple girls stepped out of their comfort zones and jumped off our boat and into the water and we had another FANTASTIC dinner at the Whistling Bird.

Even though it’s only the second day here in Jamaica, I feel as though I have been here for weeks. It’s so amazing being in another country that we have never seen before. We get to experience the culture ourselves and we aren’t just seeing the “touristy” sites.

It’s enlightening being able to see how these people act around us and what their impressions of us are. It changes my view on everyday life and on how I live. I can now appreciate the little things, seeing how these children are able to laugh and smile and not complain when it’s so hot and humid out.

My point of view has been changed and so have the rest of ours. I can’t wait to spend another day in Jamaica! --Allison
