This update will have to be pretty small, since we (Katie, Brian, and I) need to go into the big town of Humacao to pick up the rest of our supplies for our start tomorrow in about 10 minutes.
So I'm down here and getting set up. I've been filling out waivers, moving in, trekking to supermarkets, and so forth mainly. The heat is pretty offensive. Humid and omnipresent. Even without much physical exertion, I'm exhausted by 1pm. It's a good thing that they have a set schedule of 7am to the island and back by 2:30pm, everyday. Most people apparently eat a big breakfast, go out for the day, work til 2:20, then come back, eat and pass out. I see this as my future.
We had our first lecture today about safety on the island - protocols for Herpes B virus, TB, etc. A little scary but nothing to be concerned about if you have half a brain, so I've been told.
Ohk wow, we're rushing out. I will post photos of the house and the wildlife (stray cats and dogs, geckos, iguanas, and more) when I get back.
Much love!!!
