Jamaica Day 1.5

Hello All (even though it will probably only be Betsy and Mom who read it),
We all arrived here in Jamaica safely! Our plane ride from Atlanta to Montego Bay was not restful. There was an infant in the seat infront of us (Will, Ryan, and Nathan) two rows infront of Mrs. Wolffe and Catherine. Screaming is too mild of a word to describe what this little one did for the entire duration of the flight. Customs was uneventful; We got through and found a taxi to take us to Galena Breeze. One sweaty two and half hour bus ride later and we had arrived! It was a bit of a surreal expireince for all of us as none of us had left here thinking that we would ever be back. But we are, and it is as beautiful as ever. I am writing this in the large open air dining room over looking the ocean. It is a hot day on the island, 94, and probably about the same humididty percentage. We are staying realitively cool as the breeze off the ocean is very refreshing. And yes, I am trying to brag.
After arriving last night and getting settled in, we had a delicious dinner of jerk pork and chicken. There was another group here, but it was there last night. We spent the night hanging out by the pool, learning a new version of UNO from the summer interns. We fell asleep on the roof of the utlitly shed star gazing. We went to bed early, 9:30. We have spent most of the day installing old programs like: thinking things, mario typing, and the original printshop. It is the first time any of us have worked with floppy disks in a while. All in all it has been a pretty lazy day as the staff has been flipping the camp for the group of 30 that is arriving from Ohio. Tommorow we are going to be at Church and continuing our installs.
That's all for now from Jamaica.

  2. $10, but I can not give you full pound. Will you settle for a half?

  3. Nathan...

    From what I can tell, your trip was a success... but I need another update.

    I hope you are doing well... and getting excited for Eastern.

    I will be returning from India soon... we should get coffee. Hopefully you won't be in Phildelphia already.

    Sincerely...
