Weekend getaway!

All of the volunteers left Saturday, except me. We were all very close so it was a very sad day! All I mangaed to do was sulk in the hammock and eat chocolate chips. It has been so quiet around here which feels very weird after being used to living with 13 people.

I helped out with summer club a lot this week. There are about 25 kids around 10-15 years old that come up to the garden, go snorkeling, do crafts, or go hiking with us a few times a week. It all sounds cute in theory but is pretty much dreadful. Too many kids. Too much yelling. Too much energy. I am absolutely exhausted after about 4 minutes. Since all the volunteers left, I got to hang out with the kids all week! It was interesting to say the least. I may have found my self having a bit of fun here and there but for the most part I was counting down till there parents arrived to take them home.

After a long week I have a terrificly exciting weekend planned! A group of us are flying to St. Maarten tomorrow evening staying the night and then sailing (yep, like in a real sail boat on the ocean) to Anguilla! EEeeekk! So excited!! There is a huge party on Aug 1 for Carnival that we are heading over for. The beaches are supposed to be amazing as well! I will take loads of pics as usual (I have managed to take at least 2000 pics so far, I have no idea how) and share them when I return. Well if I return b/c there is a big storm coming through that has a tiny possibly of turning into a hurrican. No biggie though. We'll just be on a boat in the middle of the ocean. I guess the area that we'll be in is supposed to be ok and actually better than being here on Statia. No worries!

Well not much else is new. OH! Did I write about the night dive we all went on last week? I don't think so. IT WAS AMAZING! The most surreal feeling in the world. It was at a shipwreck site and we went down while it was still a bit light out. Then it just kept getting darker and darker until you couldn't see anything without your flash light. Cool! We saw huge sea turtles that were there sleeping and big ol' crabs. The best part was the bioluminescence the glowed when you moved your arms and legs. It was like fairy dust all over you! I think I spent most of my time with my flash light off and dancing around to see all the glowing bits. I hope I can do another night dive before I leave. We were all so excited when we got back on the boat and were jumping around like little kids (different from usual? Nope.).

Ok, now I have nothing else to write about. Hope everyone is doing well.

Bye!
