This is my attempt to let my friends and family know what I am up to while living in the Caribbean. The post on this blog will most likely be my random thoughts and stories of my adventures as a medical student and new resident of St. Vincent. And will likely continue when I finally return to the states after being out of the country since August 2003 to continue my last two years of clinical rotations. Please bear with me as I do not enjoy writing (this is why I send so few emails to my family and they are always wondering what I am doing).
Life in St. Vincent has been treating me wonderfully so far and hopefully will continue to for the next 4 months. Since I arrived, I have further perfected the art of procrastination (this being one of the products). I have hiked 4,048 ft to the top of the volcano and still feel some of the effects in my aching muscles. I have gone to Young Island and dined on their pricey lunch buffet (which I didnt' think was all that great except for the amazing cinnamon bread) and lounged on the sand. Since we were not hotel guest we were banned from using the "hotel facilaties" (ie. hammocks, lounge chairs). I do have a bit of color on my skin (don't worry mom, I'm not burned) now too which is far better than my pale skin I had from hours spent studying last term in Grenada.
I will try to post fairly often, but we shall see how that goes when the pace picks up and my free time is non-existent. Until then......
