Many people ask, "what are your plans after graduation?"

Here's mine: I'm off to Ecuador for half a year to teach English, and have a few adventures along the way.

in the land of sea and sun

Potters Village, Antigua and Barbuda


Down in the tiny island of Antigua (roughly 100 Miles²), my family and I are spending our Christmas holiday together in one of the island's harbors. Soaking up the sun, enjoying the beautiful mountain and ocean views, and having a few adventures along the way.

So far, we encountered about 3/4 of the population of Antigua in the capitol city doing Christmas shopping. This, of course, led to serious traffic jams and it took us 1.5 hours to travel roughly 9 Miles. Poor planning on our part.

Also, during the few forays into the sea both my mother and I have managed to be stung by jellyfish. Ouch. I was stung twice this morning; once so badly that once out of the water you could see the tentacle marks around my shin/ankle as a burning white mark. Now it's calmed down, no longer leaving me writhing in pain, only a raised red irritation. Quite unusual, though. Hopefully I will not encounter any more jellyfish on this trip (or ever...or at least not when they can sting me).
