Vamos a la playa

Hello,

Almost a week down and things are coming together well here. I decided to take the apartment, I sign the lease and move in on Monday. It will be nice to have a place of my own and a kitchen to cook in.

On Thursday we went to a beach just west of Kingston called Fort Clarence. Carlos, a Guatemalan business man who was at the same hotel as the other volunteers, took us in his rental to the beach for the day. The water was warm and waves were pretty tame. On the beach was a small shop that sold beer and fresh fish.

We start in country training on Wednesday, which gives me a couple days to move in and get everything I need for my apartment. Training runs until Friday and I start working on Monday. Were heading to a craft market this afternoon and then the pool at one of the hotels downtown Kingston.

Im being eaten alive by mosquitoes, my feet are full of bites. At least 10 on one of them. Thankfully no cockroach sightings. Ill put up the mosquito net when I move in this week.

Ill update with apartment pics in the next couple days
