Les Saintes

Tuesday was the big dinner at Lycée d'Hotelier for the assistants and wowzuhs, it was incredible.

Beginner: Chicken pie

Then the best shrimp I've ever eaten ontop a salad

Main coarse: Lion Fish with a passion fruit sauce and Elisabeth potatos stuffed with spinach. So tasty

This past weekend 6 other assistants and I went to Les Saintes, a little island of Guadeloupe. The ferry is about 20 minutes long, but the way there it was a rockin and a rollin.  The island is very beautiful, it's actually composed of 9 small islands, only two are inhabited though. It is rumored Pirates of the Carribean did a little filming there for the movie.

Les Saintes bay

A ship coming to the harbor. Les Saintes is supposed to have the second most beautiful Bay in the world. It was very nice, the ice cream and Tourment d'amour (a special pastry/cake of the island) made it even more beautiful to me.

At sunset

Our "camp" site, more of a sleep site. Everyone slept outside except the two in the tent. Apart from being a bit unconfortable and windy, it was actually very nice to fall asleep looking up at the stars and palm trees. Fortunetly it didn't rain, and nobody died of a falling coconut (apparently more people die each year by getting hit in the head by a falling coconut than being killed from a shark attack).

One of the MLK posters I help put up at the High school today. They made me read an announcement over the loud speaker in French about it, that was not so good.

Lastly, I saw my first fight today. It was a bunch of the kids from the class I just got done teaching, right outside the room. That was a bit intense.
