Let's try two pictures at once?



It's 8am... 7pm east coast time... my first tour isn't until 9.... Lando has already gone to the ship to load up his first tour... yesterday was a good day... almost all the tours were cancelled cuz the Destiny (Carnival) never sells ANYTHING! We got out over an hour early... so GREAT!!!

I think tomorrown Lando and I are both working the Disney ship which is AWESOME!!! Plus the ship is in subbase so that gets me out of the office which is priceless! Although the last time i was in subbase, my bag got overrun with Red Ants! It was so like something out of a movie... they were crawling EVERYWHERE... i dropped my bag to the ground not knowing whether to run or fight back... i stood there paralyzed until another tour operator gave me this flyer of hers to kill them with... since there were thousands it wasn't working to well... so then, thinking a little more clearly, i took everything out of the bag, through the bag on the ground and started stomping on it... SUCCESS! They bit me everywhere, but I WON!!! The passengers had a great time watching me. So lesson learned.... when working in subbase, go it alone and leave the bag in the car!

Let's see.. the pictures i think are of the cats...they really have a tough life out here.... they sleep all day... eagerly wait our return from work so we can feed them... and then just as we are ready to go to sleep they wake up and run around the house, up and over our faces as we are trying to fall asleep and then take to attacking our feet - which HURTS considering you can only sleep with a sheet on you here... at most! This morning they were doing thier usual run-around and somehow they unplugged our fan!!! So with no more cool air we were forced to get up a little early and feed them!

The other picture is a sunset over Secret Harbour... we heard they had good sunsets there so we went to check it out one night... it wasn't too great because it was pretty cloudy that day, but i LOVE that beach... we'll definitly go back!

Going to church this weekend was awesome! I started to recognize more of the kids.... they have all gotten so old! The younger ones don't remember me, but more of the older ones do. It was nice to be present in that culture once again. Since it was the last sunday of the month is was their youth sunday (yes, they have one a month!), so Kymnisha was doing the sermon... she was like 10 the first time i met her! They had the steel drum band, a youth band, the music is so upbeat and cool while still being hyms... it's worship with style! I'm super excited for Christmas and New Years!!!

TIDBITS: Even though the traffic is awful here, people are so gracious... you always stop to let people in and out; the Pharmacy by our office doesn't accept health insurance (IT'S A PHARMACY! - What kind of Pharmacy doesn't take insurance!); Marcus is moving down to join us in Paradise-i pick him up on Saturday; milk never tastes cold; if you see something in a store one day you better buy it, cuz it may not be there tomorrow; i'm really starting to dislike Harry Potter and the radio station we listen to in our car plays Jack Johnson all the time - I love it!.

ATTENTION STEVE BIEGNER: If you see Steve tell him that he really needs to come down here for some continuing education... to see what the church can be!
