steaming hot

Even though today is Saturday, we didn't get the whole day off. We went to the market this morning, which was quite the experience. The people there all tried to get us to come in their shop and buy from them. They would say, "Pretty girls, come in our shops. We give you a good deal." We did find some good deals and enjoyed experiencing a little more of Jamaican culture. After the market, we were escorted to a park by security so that we were safe. We were supposed to meet the children from Robin's Nest at the park, but they never showed up, so we ended up enjoying our lunch in the ocean. We also got sunburned in the middle of a thunderstorm, which was something new. After the park, we walked back to Fairhaven and got some cold water and stood in front of the air conditioners and we were literally steaming hot. Steam was pouring off of us as we stood there...SICK! Then, we headed out for Melody House Girls Home, which is a home where 15 girls ranging from 12 to 18 years old. We played games and hung out with the girls there and had a wonderful time. Tomorrow we will be attending church and going to the beach with the children from Robin's Nest.
