Werel - it was great to hear from you - I regret to tell you that I have no pictures for you today - we were very busy and a few people took pictures but I wasn't able to get their cameras to download them.
We were so busy today. We saw approximately 120 patients. It is so hot here - very humid, probably in the 90's, we have no airconditioning at all in the places where we work - all day long we are sweating - we drink a lot of water and still it's not enough. In the afternoon it rains a little but not enough to cool things off. The patients sweat a lot also!
Adventure Dog has been such good company - for me as well as the patients. For me, I tell everyone why he is here and it helps me not miss my family so much. For the patients, especially the children, they are scared to be going to the dentist so they hold Adventure Dog while we are doing the procedure and he helps make them feel better - so you were right about that!!
Nic - I haven't seen any lizards or iguanas but they are definately here - if I do I will try to get a photo for you - but they move very quickly. Yes, Brandon, they are still eating a lot of sugar cane like I showed you in the slide show last year - you have a good memory!! That is not the biggest problem here for their cavities here though, it is really the candy and the sugary drinks - just like in the States!!
As far as the time goes, we are one hour behind EST - and you are right again, that will change after Sunday when we set the clocks back - why do you think some places have DST and other place don't?
I know you are going on a trip to the Mayor's office today - have a lot of fun and make sure you ask a lot of good questions, like you are of me. I know that you will enjoy Peter Pan Pizza - you guys are so lucky that you get to go to a nice school and go on field trips and get such a good education.
In Jamaica the music that they are popular for is called Reggae Music - it has a very good beat to it - maybe Mrs. Soulier can play some for you - the biggest Reggae star is Bob Marley - he is not alive anymore but his name is always who first comes to mind with Reggae Music.
Each day I will tell you something about Jamaica - if there is something in particular you would like to know then tell me and I will find out if I can. Do you know what language they speak here?
I will try to get more photos for tomorrow - farewell to all from Adventure Dog - and a special hug and kiss for Victor!!
