Emancipation Day!!!

Everyone celebrate Emancipation Day!!! Or dont It's up to you. Today was Emancipation Day, In recongnition of when British Parliament Banned Slavery in 1833 (thanks Wikipedia!!) Which really doesnt mean anything other then it gives the locals a reason to drink and a day off work. But it did work out nicely for us because normally no one goes in service on mondays, but they did today. The brother who were house sitting for left us a giant 3 page list of all the calls he has. So we did some of those, which went really well. We also got to see some of the poorer areas of the island. For instance one study we went to lives in one of those cargo trailers he's turned into his house, but he was very nice and his study was great.

After that we went kayaking again, this time we went out to one one of the islands thats probably close to a mile off shore. It was awesome, me and josh were in the double kayake and we had taken a lot of water over the edge, we wer
e kinda worried. But we realized that even though we were so far out, the water was less then 4 feet deep, and we stood up and emptied out the water!! Again, I was dying to take pictures, so if I can get a waterproof camera I will. Finally we went to Bruce's house for dinner, him and his wife cooked Steak, and some fish and lobster he cought yesterday. I dont normally like fish, but this was AWESOME! It was really really good.

Finally, for my picture of the day (im gonna try to get one everyday... we'll see if i can keep coming up with new stuff) I got a night shot. I actually got a number of night shots that are pretty cool, so go check out the smugmug account. Thanx guys, and as I said before, go ahead and join the blog and leave some comments. See ya!
