First 2 Days on the Island

Hey followers!
I dont have too much time before i go to bed, so let me just jot down a real quick list of what has happened these past 2 days...
Day 1- Travel Day
- Plane ride from Charlotte to Provos (great ride, passed out for an hour)
-Filled out my temp. customs paperwork and was accepted into the country
-Had my first taste of Conch in the Provos airport... conch burger, delicious!
- Puddle jumper to south caicos only took 20 minutes, and fit 35 people at most
- The water is a beautiful blue. All different color blues in fact, and so clear! I swear i could see things moving in the water below as we flew over
- Landing on south caicos... one runway, and a building with one room is the equivalent to their airport. There are wild cats, dogs, horses, cows and donkeys running all around.
-The drive on the opposite side of the street, but it really doesnt matter because they drive in the middle anyways.
-The SFS center is GORGEOUS! we are right on the cliff and surrounded by mangroves, sea grass beds and reefs, and the conch national reserve is right at the waters edge.
- i have 4 roommates and we get along great! i still have yet to unpack, but there has been no time!
Day2
-First day of classes, introductions to them, a little nervous because they seem difficult. I am going to just try and stay on top of them!
-Went snorkeling with friends and checked out the area around the docks and pier, then had the opportunity to go out and snorkel at a designated location in the ocean!
-i saw the most amazing fish, and an eagle ray! he was huge, at least 6 foot and had little eagle ray followers
-then i had to get back in the boat without a ladder... i really need upper body strength, but i got in... i was pulled in:)
-I took a sea bath, they are amazing and refreshing!!! i am going to need to get more soap! it great just looking down and seeing that you are showering with fish!!!
-We all got dinner then headed into town to a place called Dillon's bar. It is the smallest bar UC and you Yorkers have ever seen! only 3 people were there, but they had everything you could imagine for liquor and beer. i had my first beer in a bar!!! i asked for a tequila sunrise and they gave me a cup full of patrone with a little orange juice... redic!
- I learned how to play dominos with the locals, and eve beat them twice!! they are so friendly and now i see them all over town, they are the nicest people here
Bed time... to be continued!
