Happy Birthday America, From- Grenada

So far 3rd term has been wonderful. Nick has had class from 8-noon, maybe a few hours of studying after or a few hours in the evening, and then otherwise there has been time for fun! :)

Hard to believe 1 week of 3rd is already done though, and that midterms are already right around the corner. Yep, I think this term is going to pass entirely too quickly, and I really don't want it to... not ready to surrender Nick and friends over to 4th term yet!

The highlight of the week was definitely the 4th of July. We were all a little bummed not to be celebrating in the States, but that doesn't mean we didn't celebrate. Nick went to class until noon, and then we hit the beach, had 20 some people over for a BBQ, and went to bingo... all decked out in our red, white, and blue of course :) The only thing missing was fireworks!

Nick and Marty also spent several hours this week building a bags (or corn hole) set. It was a fabulous addition to our 4th of July festivities. We hauled it to the beach and had a blast! We had planned it out before the term began, so Nick and I had bought bean bags at home, with the hope that the lumber wouldnt be too expensive or hard to find.  It was hilarious because Grenadians have never seen this game before and they were so intrigued by it. On several occassions when we were playing there was literally a crowd standing or laying in the sand around us- hilarious! They all wanted to know the rules, how it was done, etc. Two guys even asked to throw a bag for a bet they had- if the one made it, the other had to do 19 back flips... sadly, the guy did not make it and we only got 2 back flips.. haha

 Cheers to America and cheers to crossing many fun things off our Grenada bucket list this term!
