Catching up

Walking around Georgetown on the weekend really grounded my sense of where I am. And my bonafide new "bredren" was great in showing me the ropes. The potluck was also good fun and a good opportunity to meet some "old" "senior" volunteers.

Today we had a break from the office/classroom. We went to Madewini Gardens. Nestled in the woods on the beautiful banks of the Madewini creek. Guyanese say that if you eat labba and drink black water while visiting Guyana, you are bound to return. (Labba is a small agouti or South American rodent that is eaten in a dark stew called "pepper pot"; "Black water" is the water of muddy streams.

In any event we had a couple of lessons, one of them being on vegetables in Guyana.

Before and after, there was "volleyball" and swimming in the black creek.

 

 And then I went swimming...
