So it has been awhile and as you can see by the date on the page I had intended to send out this blog in March but life got in the way. So it's now five months later and I am just getting it out. Around this time I was really busy with working at the school and all my community responsibilities so.....
Easter Weekend
The Easter holiday was a lot of fun. Everything was closed and most people usually spent the holiday at the beach as I did. I spent the weekend with my friend Mickey and her parents...the Camerons. They are vegans (I didn't know that until I showed up at their home). Showed up around dinner time and I was expecting the traditional rice and chicken....was I surprised when they served me brown rice and tofu. But the time I spent with her parents really showed me a different way of life.They ate so healthy. Went to church with them that weekend. In the pictures you will see Mickey, her mom and I in traditional Nigerian garments. I didn't provide them. Mickey's mom did missionary work in Nigeria, loved the clothing and brought some of it back with her to Jamaica. So that's what we wore to church.On Easter day, the Camerons and my friend Dee and her boyfriend Ceyon all went to the beach in Negril.You can see in the pictures how much fun we had.
Do you eat bun and cheese?
"Do you eat bun and cheese?" was a question that everyone was asking me during the Easter holiday. In Jamaica people eat bun and cheese during Easter time so during those days leading up to Easter I had my belly full with the delicious bun and cheese which was offered to me by friends and neighbors. It has been five months so I can't say too much about this time mainly because I can't remember a lot of what happened but I do hope you all enjoy the pictures and I hope to provide more timely blogs.
Olympics 2008
Big up to all of the Jamaican Athletes especially the runners. Jamacians have a renewed sense of pride since the runners (particularly Usain Bolt a.ka. "lightening bolt") have been taking gold medals and setting records. Everywhere you look there are people flying their Jamaican flags and everyone is talking about the athletes. I like seeing people in such a good mood. The prime minister says that there will be a public holiday in honor of the runners and there is a parade in the works.

I cannot say that I've ever had the pleasure of eating bun and cheese... but I would if it was offered...
