Your Cookie Dollars at Work

Today was a break from Cove. We had the opportunity to go to two preschools, named Ketto School and Gordon Institute (not official, but close enough). Thanks to our cookie money, we managed to buy 45 little chairs for the small dining pavilion at Ketto, and we packed the pantry at both Ketto and Gordon. We also brought two suitcases full of books and art supplies to both schools and had time to play with the kids at Ketto for over an hour.

We went to a grocery store in Jamaica to shop for Ketto and Gordon. It was a very interesting experience, and they also had Lays, Cheetos (which according to Mrs. P didn’t taste like Cheetos back home), and other crackers and snacks you would find in Indiana. We also went to a furniture store, and I thought it was funny that they were playing Gangnam Style over the store's speakers.

Lastly, we went to this amazing restaurant that had fries. FRENCH FRIES. I was starting to believe that French fries did not exist in Jamaica. They were AMAZING!

Tonight happens to be Jenny’s last night here in Jamaica (well, that felt weird to type my Mom’s name instead of just calling her Mom). We are all going to miss her (yes, me too), and we wish she could stay the entire trip, but, you know. :)
