Four wheelers as a way of transportation!
While walking through town, I saw the most banannas ever!
If your looking for a job, they are hiring.
While driving down the road, horses greeted us and actually stuck their head in my window.
Sunrise breakfast meeting was inside a plane
Last night we exchanged flags with one of the Rotary clubs at dinner.
This is the world famous 'Johnny Cake'. Similiar to a donut but not as sweet. Yummy!
I know it has been a while since I have posted but I have been extremlely busy! Although it looks like we are having fun, we are! But we are also on a very tight schedule with meetings, presentations, cultural visits, host visits, etc. We do get a couple hours here and there but we are working :)
This week we are in St. Maarten which is one half of the island and it is governed by Holland so they all speek Dutch. Yesterday, Sarah, Shelli and I went to Korps Politie Nederlandse Antillen and met with a detective and forensic specialist. We learned how their court process works, booking and intake and the dutch legal system. Can you beleive that most all police officers there speak 4 langauges? Wow! We also had the chance to take a tour and meet with the local community center. They had awesome programs for kids and the Rotary sponsors most of them. Their facility is amazing!
Today I went back to the police department and went on a ride along. I went on a cruise ship and overlooked an investigation. It was very interesting! I have been trying all sorts of different foods and drinks. Tomorrow we are going on a yacht and we will learn how to sail while at the same time race our yacht with another team. FUN!
