Hello All! Well, I made it to the Nature Isle. I arrived in Dominica yesterday at 5:00 pm. Ashley and Theo were waiting for me outside the airport to take me to the apartment. Ashley is such a great hostess. She had made me some banana bread and had some ice cold water for me. The ride to the apartment was very interesting. Theo was telling me all about the island and he pointed out were scenes from the Pirates movies were filmed. When we got to the apartment, I unloaded all my stuff then it was time for the party. Ashley had invited some of her and Ryan's friends over for a pizza and game night to welcome me to the island. I feel like I already knew all of their friends from the stories and blog. It is good to know that they have great friends. The homemade pizzas were so good!! We also had many delicious desserts, chocolate cake, chocolate chip cookies, rice krispie treats, and Oreo Cheesecake. We played Catch Phrase, Catch Phrase Musical Edition, and a game that Kyle and Andrea made up. The last party guest left at 1:45, so it was a great party. I had almost been up for 24 hours at this point, so I was exhausted. Ashley and I decided to sleep in, and we did. I woke up at 12:30!! I cannot tell you the last time that this has happened. Ashley made turkey sandwiches for us, and we went to school and met Ryan for lunch. The scenery was beautiful from the school. We ate on the deck near the ocean. Ashley and I went to Purple Turtle beach for the afternoon. Ashley said it wasn't that hot today, so I was thankful for that. We are getting ready to eat dinner at the Tomato, so I will hopefully write more later. So far, it has been great here. Sorry if I am not as creative as Ashley, but this will have to do for the week. :)
