STill in St Lucia but the sun is shining today after much much rain!!

im still here and still surviving!! We've all been a bit grumpy the last few days as it just hasnt stopped raining and thats not fun. especially when we are doing gardening outside and covered in mud although im sure that day was the cleanest ive been for a while :)
The whole house went including the staff who are zulu went to the local zulu night at the cultural village in Khula where we work each day. it was so funny and amazing. we dressed up and had zulu beer, which was well free and alcoholic so no complaints here!! the dancing was funny - we all did some and i think everyone was amazed with my leg kicking - it was high and i didnt knock myself out but my jeans were about to fall down - what a lovely thought - not!!!
the zulu dancers were "fit" in all ways. i have some pics and still waiting to get them loaded up. sorry for the delay with the pics
We had a game drive for us project workers Tuesday afternoon too which was fantastic. there are no lions at the area we went to but there are leopards, we didnt see any. but the funniest thing we did see was a wart hog running really fast alongside the truck, and the next thing we knew it got its tusks stuck in the ground and flipped over, when it got up it looked embarrassed and trotted off in the other direction with all the grass and earth still stuck to its tusks. definitely a highlight. then the rains came down and we drove home in the back of the truck all huddled together really wet and cold! cant think why my cold hasnt shifted!!
Today at the daycare centre the kids were a handful. I had no translator in my class this morning for an hour or so so I was on my own! im rapidly going off the sound of my own voice, they just did what they want, caused chaos, and i sat being climbed over by the rest of the kids. i have no authority with them at all!! I was trying to teach about healthy eating and as we were going through good food and bad food, one of the children we call her the special child as she is a bit, just ate ashoe she found on the floor then found a crayon and started eating that, then she started on the earthy sand!! i mean, what am i to do!!!
anyway thats it for today, lesson planning for next week is by the pool today YAY!!!
