Hello Friends and Family! Happy Monday to you all! (And Happy Birthday Ian!!!!)
Sunday seemed like it could go on forever. So. Long. In the morning, Ana and I went our separate ways; she went to church to try to track down a woman we met briefly who has a completely energy independent/self-sustaining house. It turns out, she was in luck and the woman offered to stop by sometime this week to bring us by and see her house. Very cool! While she was at church, I decided to go for a walk to the cliffs down at Long Bight and gather my thoughts. As the day of our departure creeps closer, I find myself finding it more and more difficult to imagine leaving. I managed to get in a good 15 minutes of alone time in before I had a surprise visitor. Let me just say, that if I wanted to, I could be married before I left the island. I decided not to blog about the Bahamian men that have hit on me since I've been here, but considering I had somewhat of a marriage proposal, figured I'd fill you in a wee bit. No need for worrying though- I promise to come back home in one piece and without a ring on my finger! After a lengthy discussion, I managed to make him see that I was not interested and really didn't want to talk about our future children. *Sigh*... Why do the crazies find me?
In more important news, we were pummeled by the remnants of Hurricane Bertha. The lightning on the island is scary. I love thunderstorms, but here, they're a little more intense than what I'm used to. Ana and I spent the evening reading and then decided to make popcorn and watch Breakfast at Tiffany's. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Sadly, the water this morning is extremely rough. We saw a few kids that we were suppose to have lessons with this morning and told them to come tomorrow instead. For the kids we have this afternoon, we may end up doing arts and crafts. It's too much of a safety hazard to even attempt to get in the water... We shall see...
Here are some of the songs I've come to love on the island! Enjoy!

Wow!! I have read your entire blog and have been fasincated by your stories and beautiful pictures. Truly paradise! I am so happy that this has become a summer you will never forget. I look forward to following your remaining adventures! But please be careful...we want you back safe in one piece (those cliffs are outrageous), still single, and free of any jellyfish stings!....Keep the tan...you look fabulous! Maybe in a few years, you can return there for your wedding and I can come visit and crash it...sounds like fun! Take care!
(not really your auntie robin; it's Ms. Laurens from NHS)
perhaps you should marry him? i mean, then you could have a totally awesome home in a beautiful place!
and visiting you and brams would be so simple :P
Hey Jess!
I have been reading all your blogs as you know and hope to say hi again on AIM. I hope you enjoy the last of your time there, and I can't wait to see you when you get back.
We all miss you so so much,
