My favorite part about all the tourists is when they see me they immediately ask where I am from,I guess I don't speak like the rest of the islanders, oh and ya know I'm a different color. When I tell them I am from Utah I get the usual "white girl how'd you get out here" look. From then on out they call me Utah. It's my new nickname :)
I have found a few things that remind me of home! For example there are chickens constantly running around wild! They even know how to use the cross walks (no this is not a bad joke, it's the truth!). Another thing that reminds me of home is the pests that somehow always seem to find a way in your house. For example back home its box elder bugs.. well here it is lizzards! Those dang quick things always seem to find a way into my house! But I'll definitely take that over the 4-5 feet blue iguanas that are running around. Also back home there is this crazy white stuff called snow.. and it's EVERYWHERE well here we have crazy soft white sand.. and that gets everywhere as well.
As you can see it's hard to miss home when there are so many familiar things! (JK) Just wanted to give a quick update and let ya'll know things are going great here and we are still alive! I will update later! Tomorrow we are going snorkeling and Geoff (his name reminds me of a giraffe) has a go-pro so hopefully I can post some sweet photos next time! Much love!
Oh and instead of watching airplanes take off like the country song... we watch cruise ships!
