Travel day-- we made it!

After a 4 am start, 3 flights, and a van ride, here we are on Eleuthera at The Island School! 


We made it through the entire travel ordeal without losing anyone and with no major delays! The plane rides went smoothly with the exception of a few screaming infants on our last flight.  We were introduced to a few aspects of the school and will learn more tomorrow. 


This includes military showers (1 minute total of water per person per day) as well as the dish crew duties before and after meals.  There is a common space between the girls’ and boys’ dorms in which we can play ping-pong and relax.  There are many porches and windows to enjoy the sea and its breeze at any time of day! The downfall is the bugs…we have met many already including the 2-inch monster cockroach and the bat moth.   Tonight we participated in a few team-building activities as a part of our introduction.  This included acting out our spirit vegetables and a name game so that the Island School staff, Kenzie and Liz, could get to know us.


Goodnight!
