Tuesday by Elena and Lizzy

Today was our first day of visiting the school, where it felt like we were treated like celebrities! We worked with 3 different classes at the Collège d'Eugène Yssap (Middle School), where we split into groups. One group played "Simon Says", there was also "Hangman", "Charades", and Juh Yun played his violin as the students learned "Do-Re-Mi". The kids were all very cute and receptive. They enjoyed socializing and asking about our lives in America. At noon, we left the school to go enjoy some Créole cooking at a local restaurant. Many of the students ordered a special of Avocado dish, Shark, and a yummy Chocolate dessert! After this, we made our second trip to the Saint-Anne Beach. Some of us swam, others lounged, and we perused the local vendors booths, where we found some wonderful jewelry! Finally, we returned to our host families, and enjoyed a meal in the light! This was our first night with electricity - the night before, both electricity and running water were temporarily shut off due to recent strikes. Bonne nuit!!!
