Like a band-aid..

So its has been a rough last few days down here for both of us. We are both dying to go home, and we aren't supposed to be there for another 3 months and 3 days. Although Barbados was amazing, I am starting to think that we should have gone home. Oh well, nothing we can do about it now. Thank god Colby loves me because at this point, I think he plans on sticking it out with me. He and I are fabulous, its just this shitty island!

Why is it shitty? A few examples for your reading pleasure:
1) yesterday, we were going to make a taco pizza for dinner and wanted to garnish it with fresh, diced tomatoes - but they don't have tomatoes right now.
2) it rained, the hardest rain, for hours on end yesterday - everyone was soaked, because no umbrella could hold up to how hard it was raining.
3) because it rained, there were puddles, which I stepped in. So I went home to rinse of my feet and lo and behold, the water was a darker brown than my muddy sandals and my feet.
4) because the water was so brown, we couldn't do the dishes, take showers, brush our teeth (we did, we just used listerine), etc.

Imagine that - no Ralphs to go get what you WANT to eat for dinner. No clean, running water. Yes, Dominica sucks. And although I am from the "OC," I definitely didn't grow up a spoiled brat - but yes, we always had food and water.

I am leaning more and more towards moving to the Bahamas as the days pass - so continue to cross your fingers. Like I said before - hopefully I will know for sure by mid to late October.

Colby's birthday is coming and I think we are going on a boat trip to Les Saintes with some friends next weekend for some eating and drinking for the day. Should be a good time!

Semester 2 is proving to be a lot harder than Semester 1 was, so its time to get to it. Hope you enjoyed my rant! :) Pictures to come soon.

Email us if you love us. HA! Now you have to! :)
