Day 2

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The sound of our host family knocking on our doors echos throughout our rooms. "I'm going to serve breakfast now!" they say. Slowly making our way to the eating table, we plump ourselves down and wait for breakfast. The pungent smell coming from the kitchen reaches our curious noses. Once breakfast is served we scarf it down within seconds. We eat like a group of Parana’s feasting on a fat piece of meat.  Safe to say it was a phenomenal meal! Breakfast here usually consists of eggs, toast, and a sweet orange.

Upon finishing breakfast we prepare our selves for the day. Most importantly we "DEET up." We all gather outside Sam and Joh's house and excitedly walk down to the clinic. We reach the clinic and meet our friends Vanessa and Euton. We pile into Euton's truck and make our way up to our farm tour. We tour the farm of a sweet lady named Marg. She takes us along her farm path showing us all the different fruits and plants growing on her farm. We stopped numerous times trying each different fruit she had to offer. At times it seemed like she was our mother feeding us our daily fruits. But actually, she would hold up the fruits to our mouths and we would take a bite. The fruits were the most sweet succulent tasting things that we have ever had grow from the ground.

After about an hour of touring the farm we find our sweet Euton and continue our journey up the mountain to visit the school. The school was a ghost town because it was a Saturday, so school wasn't in session. We take a quick tour and then make our way back down the mountain to the clinic. Once reaching the clinic we find ourselves in a discussion circle around Vanessa who starts our orientation. We mainly go through our schedule for the week, but also discuss possible topics our club could potentially cover and learn a little Patio. We talk for about 2 hours discussing with Euton and Vanessa and then we talk to Sheldon, who is a student at the University of Kingston getting his PhD in physics who grew up in Hagley Gap, for about an hour about future project ideas. Once our discussion is finished we take our information filled brains to our houses and prepare ourselves for dinner. Dinner is placed at the table and it's even better than breakfast. We eat the food like a pack of Hyenas feasting on a nice antelope.

Now I'm sure everyone's wondering about the night life in Jamaica. The night life in Jamaica is "LIT." Tonight we head back up to the square with Vanessa. We notice a lot of drinking, dancing, and music playing. We reach the square and find a little nook we can hang out in. As soon as we get comfortable a flock of children surround us. With the good vibes and music, our very own team member, Joh, breaks out some famous dance moves. Granted he doesn't have the smoothest moves, but the kids still love it. He teaches the kids the shopping cart, the bow and arrow, and the sprinkle. They become pro's within seconds. Teaching everyone around them it becomes a hit. However, the dance moves only last about 30 minutes before we feel the tiredness hit us. At this time we make our way back to our homes and have our daily reflection. We basically get deep in our feel's. Thankfully no one has had any problems and are enjoying there stay thus far. This lasts for about an hour and then we hit the sack. We prepare our selves for another fun-filled day.
