Well it is really good to be back I am sorry that 3 of my blogs needed to
be PDF'd but couldn't be helped. It is good to be in Georgetown. Here is a little tour
of my house one picture is the living room next is obviously the dining
room and kitchen. There
are three bedrooms and one bath.
The final picture is laundry day in the city.
The house has wireless internet and this afternoon I enjoyed an iced Mocha and chocolate cake at a wonderful little restaurant.
I am doing my best to find a position in G-town. I have an appointent with the head of the University of Guyana School of Nursing tomorrow and today toured the Blood Bank. I have also met a number of people at the Ministry of Health. Tonight we are meeting a couple of other PC trainees for dinner and then relaxing at home. This has been a great experience and confirms my decision to be in a city. More after dinner.....
Well.......................................
instead of after dinner it is two days later. So much to do so little time. I had my interview with the Nursing Program and they are very interested. I will post on the final outcome, but it seems
to have good potential. I would be involved as a clinical instructor, something I have already done.
The couple we are staying with are fantastic and hooked me up with another whole aspect of skype,so if and when I get internet I will be able to call some of you for FREE, on your land line
Everything in the city is just convenient. We walked in the park last night and will do so again. It is good to be back in an exercise mode. There are many walkers so it is very safe.
Today they are taking us to the bank and market so we can learn to navigate these things ourselves in the future.
Well I am back from the market and a three
mile walk in National Park. We are about to make homemade pizza, and chill I am sad that I only have two more days here. Tomorrow we are invited over to another PCV's house for drinks and then are going dancing. Should be interesting.
In my excitement to tell you about Georgetown I forgot to tell you about my very first Cricket Match. Talk about being confused. It appears the rules are that you can hit the ball anywhere and then you run up to the pitchers mound with the bat touch the line and can continue running until the ball is able to be thrown at the special line at the pitchers mound or the wickett behind the batter. If you are confused join the club. They decide at the beginning of the game how many outs there will be and some professional games go one for as much as 4 days. There was not really a Cricket field available but undaunted we used the beach which worked fine for me because I was merely a spectator. The valient players were great to watch and by the end of the game had endured a major attack of sand flees.
The Pizza we made was terrific. I should have taken a photo but was too busy eating. We followed the pizza with a Banana/Mango Shake and chocolate....I am in heaven.
Tonight is some drinks and dancing and tomorrow is dinner with some American Embassy People. Then it will be time for me to take the boat back to Essiquibo.
As this may be my last post for a month. I want to be sure that all of you know I am well and have not forgotten you. Internet is tough to come by on the Essiquebo Coast and impossible to blog from so it is my great hope that the next time you hear from me I will be posted somewhere with internet access.
I will be informing you as soon as possible about how everything shakes out.
The last thing I want say today is a very very Happy Birthday to one of my most precious gifts...my daughter, she is celebrating today and I want her to know that I love her very much.
Love to all :-)
