Onward to Nine Mile!

Heading up to Nine Mile for the first time today, with the hopes of getting the program started tomorrow morning. Gavin and Lesley are going to accompany me for this first drive up, but once there, I’ll be on my own. I rented a car and have been a bit apprehensive about driving to date, but I’m going to have to get used to the idea really quick, since I’ll be driving in an hour or two! I bought this excellent map of Jamaica on my first or second day here and have been studying it as much as possible, but in the end I’m not sure how much it will help, since maps aren’t generally how people seem to get around here, they’re more prone to the landmark/storytelling style of directions.

Being that I’ll be in Nine Mile all week, my Internet access will be limited or non-existent until I figure out how to hook it up at the school. With that in mind, I’ve linked the Photos link at the top of the page directly to my Flickr account so you can see the shots I’ve taken so far.

Back soon with more!
