Home in Hellshire
I have not been able to post for awhile but so much has happened. Had a great two days In Kingston---training, cultural experiences,sweating,eating,meeting people,sweating,playing,being Introduced to Red Stripe beer, sweating,learning patois, getting shots, sweating and finally coming to Hellshire where we live with our first of two host families for three weeks while we go to training Monday through Friday. My mother is Mabel, a 60 year old Jamaican and we have hit it off beautifully. She is teaching me to cook and you know how I love that. The food is amazing I went to the beach today----what fun. Mabel wants to find me a Jamaican man! She is too funny. I said "Mabel, don,t you know at our age, men are looking for a nurse or you purse?" She loved that. More later.

You have made us really laugh on this one, Linda. Sounds like you have found the right "mother". We know you will learn lots of new dishes there.
ReplyDeleteWe are sweating here too, so do not despair. Lot of love is sent your way.
Red Stripe, hummm... careful there, that stuff is potent! We used to drink it at the yacht club. Might find yourself doing things you would not normally do!! HA!
ReplyDeleteWe were wondering how you connect your Ipad to the internet. Do you have it at your house, at a cafe? It is good that we can stay in touch.
ReplyDeleteLove You,

Linda, I have been trying to figure this out! Hope all is well - am sure it is! Learn that Jamaican cooking from Mother Mabel, and stay away from those Jamaican men she wants to hook you up with! Love you,
