Not much to report this time around. Al and I have started to get into our respective routines and we haven't had much time to explore any more of the island. That's OK, though. We do have 2.5 years and the island is only 60 square miles. If we checked it all out now, what would we do for entertainment later?
On the car front, we finally got all of the paperwork done. It took forever and I ended up recruiting my friend Chrissie from work to take care of the last little bit as I always worked when the office was open. We finished it all up this past Tuesday so I decided to take it out for it's maiden voyage to the grocery store and.......it died. No lie. The engine just went dead about .5 miles from campus. Now it won't even turn over when you turn the ignition. I'm not sure what the deal is with this car. So now we are going on week three of "own a car, but ride the bus", and it's starting to get really old.
In other news: tonight I went with Long, a friend from work, and Taylor, an acquaintance from Ross Vet, to go see the St Kitts & Nevis men's soccer team play a match against St Vincent & The Grenadines. It was a battle between the Sugar Boyz and the St Vincey Heat. St Kitts came out hot and jumped to a 1-0 lead in the first ten minutes. We all thought it was going to be a blow out. But St Kitts cooled as the Heat heated up. The ref sort of lost control of the match and guys started flopping all over the place like fish out of water to try to convince the ref to penalize the other team. A few times I honestly thought punches were going to get throw. St Vincent tied it up early in the second half and had a chance to go ahead thanks to a penalty kick awarded by the ref. The Sugar Boyz goal keeper made an incredible save to keep the game level and that's how it ended. The crowd seemed less than impressed but we loved it.
