The cruise was fun. It was a smaller boat and we just “cruised” to a beach called Secret Beach. It is called Secret Beach because you can only get to it by boat. The boat couldn’t go all the way to the shore so it stopped a little ways out into the ocean and we jumped off and swam to the beach. We hung out there for a little bit then headed back. We were gone for about 2.5 hours. Another girl took lots of pictures but hasn’t emailed them to anyone yet – but I will post them when I get them (well – if I look ok in them). 

Today we had our first meeting for HOPE Dominica - the organization that I am in that does hospice work. The goal of the organization is to befriend elderly people who are in hospice, find out their basic needs and try to help them. We also raise money to help with their hospital bills. Last semester they raised enough money to buy a morphine pump for the hospital in Roseau!! I am excited to get started!! 

Tonight we had game night out on the Subway Deck. I won PHASE 10!! I have to admit Im pretty good at that game. One of the girls that was there had her 1 year old daughter with her. She was on the floor beside me playing in my purse. Her mom was like “Im sorry” and I said jokingly “oh its ok as long as she doesn’t puke on it”. And then she was like – oh she doesn’t do that – ever. Not one minute later – she puked on my purse!! Not a lot though. It was funny. 
27 days till Im in the states!!!!!!!!!

I am laughing so hard at what your Dad said! I think Justin, as a baby, has you beat in that department though..just ask him!ha AND if you didn't win during game night something would have been very wrong!:) I truly think you would be a great designer of fun games!!! I cannot wait to hear about your hospice work. Like your mom said if there is anything we can do that will help...let us know!
Love you two,
Lou Ann
