Friday update - last post from Guadeloupe!

Hello parents!

We've had a whirlwind last few days. Tuesday afternoon, they had a drumming lesson with Jimmy as we did last year. He's a great teacher and they always have fun with the drums. I'll put some pictures on facebook as those are on my phone and I don't have time to transfer them right now. One of the teachers is standing here waiting while I use the school's wifi to write this. We have an exhibition to go to this morning in the town square.

Wednesday we had a great day at Le Tappeur on the island of Basse Terre, where we enjoyed the ziplines through the forest. Everyone loved it. Most of us did two tracks, but Sam, Ben, and Alex also did the more challenging line which requires more upper body strength. Here are some pics...








Yesterday, we did a walking tour of Point-a-Pitre and learned a lot about the history of Guadeloupe. It was fun too. After that, the kids from the school showed us their mall, which is pretty fantastic!

Today after the exhibition, we have a picnic at the beach. Tomorrow is the day we hike up the volcano, and then Sunday we have a boat trip with some of the kids to the smaller islands of Guadeloupe. Then HOMEWARD BOUND! It's been fun! Look for more pictures on facebook. See you sooon!
