Last week
was pretty busy. During the nights I did a lot of things with my host
father David Long. On Monday night we went to the Rotary Junkanoo
rehearsal. The Junkanoo is a very traditional Bahamian Parade and the
Rotary Clubs of GBI are participating for second year in a row. So Pelin
and I are taking part of this parade and we will be moving our hips at the
rhythm of the drums.
On Tuesday night my host father, some other Rotarians and I went to paint
pants for the costumes of the Junkanoo parade...that was so much fun and
after that one of the Rotarians invited everybody to have steam conch
(traditional Bahamian food).
On Wednesday night I went to the Junkanoo rehearsal again and I got pretty
tired because early that day I worked out at the gym from 12am to 6pm
because my host father forgot to pick me up so I took advantage of it and
trained more, which of course was a bad idea ; )
On Thursday evening we went at 6pm again to make the Junkanoo costumes and
outfits. I was in charge of glue shoes, and glue pants...of course it was
funny but we worked until mid night. It came as a great releif when we
finished all the costumes.
On Friday evening I went with my host father to a Christmas party we were
invited for...the food was good and being in front of the beach was
peaceful.
On Saturday morning I helped some Rotarians to raise some money for the
SALVATION ARMY by staring with my Rotary Blazer (with a lot of pins) and
ringing the bell of the Salvation Army in front of a big All-purpose
Store...Everybody that came thru that door saw me and as they were leaving
the store they asked me about my "UNUSUAL BLAZER" and after that they
donated money for the Salvation Army. I enjoyed it and I got really tired
after all of that ringing stuff, because I was there from 9:30am to 2pm,
but I felt very good because I did my good deed for Christmas...LOL..
That's all for now..
