St. Vincent & the Grenadines
Lauren, Megan, Andrew, Kris, Paul, and I all went to St. Vincent & the Grenadines for 5 days and had a blast! We visited the gorgeous Owia Salt Ponds...
jumped off ocean cliffs in Chateau Bel Air (and swam for our lives when we spotted a shark about 50 yards away!)...
All thanks goes to the Vincy Peace Corps volunteers who took such great care of us and planned out our whole trip!

Peace Corps Director Visits Grenada
We were honored to have the Peace Corps Director Ron Tschetter visit Grenada, especially since we were only 1 of 2 islands in the Eastern Caribbean that he was able to fit in (good choice if I might say so myself). We had a luncheon at the beautiful & historic plantation house in Mt. Fendue and discussed the current changes going on within the Peace Corps and the world in general (i.e. the food crisis). It was a pleasure to meet such an intelligent and genuine man, and reassuring to see that even the "higher ups" of the Peace Corps are as compassionate and authentic as the ground level.

Mama Howard's visit
My mom came to visit me this week! It was so refreshing to see her and so fun to show her my world down here. She got to do everything from touring Fort George with my Grensave class...
having a relaxing day on the beach...
visiting some of the island’s gardens and the cocoa plantation...
going to the Tivoli Drumfest and meeting my crazy friends...
snorkeling at the underwater statues and being swarmed by fish...
watching my volleyball practice, helping me teach at the Limes Program, having dinner with my homestay family, meeting my director Franka, having dinner with my community partners, treating me to sushi and a pedicure, and even helping me clean my apartment! Aren't Moms the best? We had so much fun and of course it wasn't enough time with her. Let's see if she thinks I'm worth it to fly for another 20+ hours on 3 different planes to do it again. I love you Mom!
