Let's get together and feel alright

We finally got a tour of campus today!  Let's see if I can remember what everything is... By the way, I'm new at this whole blogging deal so don't pay attention to the spacing.  I had a lot of trouble trying to upload these pictures.  Think of it as taking the scenic route.  We are on island time, after all.


First up, this is classrooms 1 and 2.






























And this is the view from outside of classrooms 1 and 2 :)






























This is the prep school, where students and faculty can bring their kids.  It has a cute garden outside of it.
































This USED to be a place that people could order things for lunch.  I don't know how it worked, but either way, it's no longer in use.  There is a similar hut nearby that I didn't get a picture of.  That's also my new car parked right outside of it.






This is the lower auditorium (the grassy part) and upper auditorium (the building behind and slightly to the right).


Toxic plant garden for toxicology!

This is just a big old plant in the toxic plant garden.  If I remember correctly, it was called Mother-in-law's tongue.































Cute little pond/garden outside of...some building.
































Hills pet food store on campus.  Open 3 days a week.
































Obviously, veterinary teaching hospital.
































Student Union behind lower auditorium.  So what if I don't have these pictures in geographical order?  Don't judge me.
































I don't remember what this is, but it has a cute wall.
































Part of the large animal area on campus.  There's quite a bit more.
































That's all I have on campus for now.  After our campus tour, we went to Reggae beach.  Slogan/Attitude: Live de life.  Also, rush slowly.  That's how we do.


Reggae beach is kind of far away and the potholes in the road are almost as bad as they are in Michigan, but it was well worth the drive.  We passed through the narrowest part of the island where the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea are separated by only 1/4 mile of paradise.  The Atlantic is on the left and the Caribbean is on the right.  And that's me in the blue dress.

This is a view of some houses from on top of the hill.


Onto the beach!  Don't worry, there aren't that many more pictures.
Here's the bar at Reggae!


I don't think I will ever have enough scenery pictures of St. Kitts.




We finished our day at Reggae with a good old fashioned game of beach volleyball with some of the "upperclassmen" from Ross.  Fun times were had by all.  Let me introduce you to Wilbur, the pig, who kept interrupting our volleyball game.


And this is how I feel about today.


Ok, so I was just looking for an excuse to post a decent picture of myself.  Don't hate.  Also, this was pre-sunburn, which broke through my SPF 50 sunscreen.  How did I get the fairest skin in my family?  I probably shouldn't reproduce and pass on those Irish skin genes.

  3. Um, your life looks awesome and your pictures of the island and yourself! are gorgeous! Can't wait to visit you (definitely, maybe) so you can show me all the awesome places on the island (cause you're going to be a pro in no time!
