Spring Break

There was a fishing tournament two weeks ago. We caught two marlin (one black and one blue) but they were too small to keep. Because of the two tag and releases our boat got second place in the tournament.

This past week was Easter and my school’s spring break. On Saturday we had an Easter Picnic by the airport. This was supposed to be a picnic for my home room class and it in turn included a number of other random students. It was a good time.

Because I live in a developing country, transportation to the more rural parts of the country is not always reliable. Since last October the national airlines has not been running and is just now testing the airplanes. The volunteers on the outer islands have all used boats to get to and from their placements, with the longest boat ride of the year being 10 days. In the past volunteers have been able to visit outer islands on their spring break, but this year it was not possible. It is unfortunate since I think it would have been awesome to truly be on an island in the middle of nowhere.
