Day 4: Working on a Sunday

Sunday morning I met with Captain Rhondal and went over the details for our river tour.  Although we weren’t going until Monday, I paid him today.  Gas is currently $94.00/jays a liter in Jamaica (so, a little over $1.00 a liter or about $8.00/US a gallon).  It’s been very slow for tourism here so the Captains are very visible on the beach looking for work.

We finished the physical work at Uppertown Lincoln Early Childhood Center on Sunday.  We painted the tires that the kids use for playing on, the front gate, all the doors and windows, and the remainder of the schools.  The learners quickly realized that water-based paint is much easier to work with and clean up compared to oil-based paint.  Ms. Francis fed us lunch of fish and rice and beet/carrot juice to drink. When we finished at the school, we went back to the Whistling Bird with the anticipation that we’d be going on the sunset cruise.  Unfortunately, the ocean became choppy during the day so we weren’t able to do the cruise.  We went to 23/7 for later for some reflection.
