Good morning darling!

This is one of the more pleasant greetings I get on my daily walks in town. Let me just say that the Grenadian men are never short for words...or marriage proposals...or obscene ways to shock you before it's even noon.

Well, it's been a month since living on my own and I'm really finding enjoyment in the simple pleasures:
-cooking for myself and finding creative ways to use the leftover contents in my fridge
-reading my 10th book since being here
-learning the guitar...I can play an entire song now!
-being the only one under the age of 50 in the Presbyterian Church choir
-walking on the beach at dusk every week with my hostmom Jessie and having Taco Night at her house

-karaoke nights with the other volunteers, where we're not sure if the locals are laughing at us or with us

-making local friends my age and getting to see a different side of Grenadian culture
