What Are These People Looking At?

A quiet week here. Our 29 participants arrived last weekend, and so far, I have picked up four faculty from the airport. We did manage to get two in one trip, which doesn't happen often.

The biggest benefit of volunteering here is meeting and getting to know the participants. We have 17 countries represented, so lots of different backgrounds.

We said goodbye to two volunteers on Wednesday and welcomed a new one last weekend. So our numbers are relatively the same.

We had the Mayor speaking at Rotary on Wednesday. She is a former school teacher and she is quite popular, at least as popular as a politician can be. She has some big challenges with the depressed tourism industry, which accounts for in excess of 75% of the local economy.

Marlene spent this morning at the local "Swap Meet" with two other volunteers. Surprise - surprise, eh!

The pictures show a bunch of our volunteers watching a sunset. As you can see, it is a pretty intense activity here. This was following a "Taco Tuesday" at a local restaurant - "Fred's"! Sorry, I don't have any pictures of the sunset!
