We had an early start to our morning today. We got up at 5:45 to go to the market to by fruit with Lisa, one of the women who works for Fairhaven. It was an interesting experience to say the least. We bought some Jamaican apples, pineapple, and sugarcane. Emily liked the sugarcane but Susan and Amy weren't big fans. After the market we came back to Fairhaven and took a nap before leaving for Blossom Garden which is an orphanage run by the government. We had a few issues when we arrived and ended up having to call our driver back to pick us up so we could change our "inappropriate" clothing and then return. It was frustrating because we felt like we wasted a lot of time that we could have been helping, but there wasn't anything we could do about it. We spent most of our time helping with the babies. The youngest was 3 weeks old. Some of the girls also spent some time outside with some of the older children. We had a lot of fun even though our time there was short. This afternoon we did some more shopping on the Hip Strip. Then after supper we went to Blue Beat, which is a jazz club down the street from Fairhaven. Since we went so early we were the only ones there, which was a little disappointing, but the view was gorgeous and we had a blast. Today was our last day working down here, and the rest of our time will be spent doing debriefing. The California half of the time doesn't know what we're doing so we can't write it on here just in case they read it. But tomorrow we will hopefully have time to write quickly and let you know about our fun filled day.
