The accounts of Khaled and Caitlin, a married couple serving in the Peace Corps (not a Mother and Son) on the South Coast of Jamaica. The views expressed in this blog do not in anyway reflect those of the U.S. Peace Corps and are totally and completely those of Caitlin and Khaled. Which means their ours, so therefore can be either begged or raffled off to raise money for our NGO.

Shadowing

Two weekends ago Khaled and I had the priveledge of hosting two group 77 trainees, Cate and Katie, for the weekend. We had a ton of fun just chillin' out in the mountains and partying at night.
Since both ladies are training in Portmore they really appreciated our mountian air and the cool climate we enjoy here in Malvern. Katie really liked how we don't have 'grills', or bars, on our house. This is relatively unusual in Jamaica and especially for a volunteer, but none of our neighbors have grills so why should we? It would just make us stand out. Still, its nice to sit on the veranda and not feel like you're in prison.
On Saturday night our good friend Jermaine took us out on the town. He was really psyched because he had one a free night at an all-inclusive and had rented a car to go there. He got the car the night before the trip so he took us out, and we lived it up!
Then on Sunday the girls came over and we played around and baked brownies. Cassanique took Cate and Katie to the shop, here she is leading the way. I think she only took them in the hopes of getting some sweeties (hard candy). On Monday they came to work with me for a half day to see what I do at 4-H, which isn't a whole lot at this time of year. Finally we all headed into Kingston, they went back to training in Portmore and we went on vacation in Portland.
