Off to San Salvador!
Edited 3/1/09: This is a view of an island below while in the airplane on the way from Nassau to San Salvador.
Good morning everyone!
In another hour or so, I will be back at the airport getting ready to take (a very little?) plane to San Salvador Island. I woke up this morning to sunny skies and very windy - the palm trees are waving all over the place! The weather is supposed to be sunny and in the high 70s today. Believe it or not, I walked around outside last night and was cold! Not cold like there though.....
Well, I'm off to find the Starbucks (yes, Starbucks!) and an ATM. In the Bahamas, they use Bahamian money and US Money...they have the same value. But things are very expensive! On San Salvador there are no ATMS and you have to use cash, so I should find some more money just incase. I don't have to pay for very much because of the fellowship, but spending money is good if I want to buy any souvenirs. Those of you (students) who are addicted to your cell phones and internet would not like it here - $1.99/min for me to use my cell phone, and $0.50/min for me to use the internet!
Yikes! Speaking of expensive internet...I better go! In my next few postings, I will try to answer some of your questions! I am really enjoying reading everything you all are writing! Enjoy your weekend and my next greetings will come from San Salvador Island! :)
