Carlos' Report

October 31, 2006


hello everybody...

Last week I had a whole week off classes...because of the mid term break...My hostfather, David Long tried to do everything so I could keep bussy...and he did a good work..LOL

It was a pretty moved and bussy week, but I also had a time to chill out a little bit...
I bought the airplane ticket to Florida for the Key West District Conference. I went to the weekly Rotary meeting of my host club "Lucaya Rotary Club" that takes place at the "Rubgy Swiss Restaurant" every tuesday at 12:30.

I walked by myself 5km. to get to Port Lucaya Marketplace. I did some shooping and I went to the beach right next to Port Lucaya.
I worked with my hostfather in the backyard...I put some fertilizer on the ground...
On Friday night I went to a Rotary Fund Raiser...with Pelin(FES from Turkey). We dance a lot, we listened poetry and a very good music band, and of course we talked a lot eachother...
On Saturday night I went to a lovely and fun Birthday party of a friend of mine...I had soo much fun in that party...and the b-day girl was beautiful...LOL
On Sunday I helped David out to take some soil of the ground. I was soo much tired but I learned that here in Grand Bahama Island is very difficult to find soil, because this island is made by limestone and coral...so its hard to find good soil to grow plants, and people has to buy soil at the Store, this is something awkward for me, because in my country we have plenty soil to grow a lot of plants...

So now, that I have been living here in The Bahamas for two months I can say that I've learned a lot of things...I'm giving value to the things that I had in Ecuador(and now I miss it) and right now I'm giving value to the things that I have here, specially to the human relations with Bahamian FRIENDS...

That is why I'm very happy to be here and that is why I would like to thank the Rotary Club for this amazing opportunity.
THANK YOU ALL...

Carlos Roberto...

Ps: Today back to classes in the Assembly, one of my teachers said "come on Carlos, come to the stage and tell us about your school in Ecuador" Of course it took me by surprise, but I remained calm and I talked to the crowd. At the end everybody applaud at me and I felt very good, as a mather of fact I felt soo good that I wanted to keep talking and talking.
