Dani and I took a quick trip down to Christiansted to walk around, see the shops. It really wasn't very busy , maybe because its Mother's Day weekend. Most of the town isn't really moving until 10am. We got dropped off near the Fort and it's a nice little town. Open market is on Saturdays. Most people were friendly and helpful. Top picture is just me being silly. My heart did go out to a few of the people, mainly men, who seemed to homeless, or just managing. One man was even just sitting on the step, rocking and sucking his thumb. There were some beautiful pieces of artwork including pictures and ceramics. It was a nice treat to end the week. Yesterday was my last 5am morning day and then it was work day, cleaning mainly. Most of us took a dip in the pool around 3pm when our day was done. Went to the grocery store last night and then watched a few movies (yes, two movies, what a way to veg out!). I received a 'welcome' package to the Equip training and most of the students are coming in today. I think last I heard 14 people were signed up. Ive opted to stay living in the trailer instead of moving over to the cabins. Here are a few more pictures from our time in Christiansted....



Notice the beach in the background, Protestant Cay. Its a small island that you take a quick ferry to (in fact it almost looks like you could swim it).
