Anna's last week

Just a few things I wanted to mention about Anna's last week...

Ok, first a short snipit about Anna in general... my one word to describe her is FUN! She got me into watching the Misadventures of Flapjack... a strange show at first but somehow it pulls you in. She and I had a few good conversations, but wishing we had had more...

One of the ladies who works at the Eye clinic (where Anna worked when she was here), had us over to dinner last Friday. Anna had made hints about having Monkey, but it turned out we had crocodile instead - actually a good meat once you pull off the 1/4 of fat. Also we had worms that Mama Jeanine normally eats when she works on her plantation. They look like the grub worms that infest sweet potatoes back home! Those were not as good and it turned out both of us had to choke them down! After dinner there was a little dancing - always a good time with that group!!

We went to Point Denis for her last beach day on Saturday! She and the kids jumped off the pier about 15 times!!! It's quite a swim from the end of the pier to the beach so I think it was a good workout! Ok this has nothing to do with Anna, but while we were in the water... which as you can see is pretty clear... there was this fish that kept circling me - we named him Jared (another great fish name - just like Reggie). Now I should explain that Jared was only about 2 inches long, so we were not exactly afraid of him - but he was a daring fish... but not a loyal one, he soon left me for others in the group! It turned out to be beautiful day (thought of you Meredith and how much you would have liked it!) and Anna got a good sun burn to take home with her to snowy NY.
