This morning, instead of waking up early to work out, we awoke to pouring rain, so we decided to snuggle back up to sleep. Around 8am the rain had slowed and we decided we should start our day. We headed off to the market to do some shopping and stopped at a bakery on the way to get coffee (Nescafe), tea (Lipton's) and pine tarts. I joked with Tim that if we closed our eyes we could almost pretend we were at Starbucks...almost.
At the market, we got ingredients for making enchiladas later today. Tim also needed some new shoes so we got him a pair of brown loafers and black dress shoes for work at Payless prices. I stopped to gaff with the man pushing the music cart (imagine a wheelbarrow/pushcart with two huge speakers and a CD player) and ended up buying two CDs with the most popular Soca and Dancehall tunes in Guyana right now. When we got home, Tim and I had a blast listening to the tunes. I think we will always remember Guyanese music (well, Jamaican really...) with humor and affection.
Today the two new trainees that have been assigned to Linden are coming to visit, so we are planning to make dinner and introduce them to our site! As we wait for them, we tidied up the house, mopped and cleaned the counters. Now I am checking my emails, touching base on FB and my favorite blogs and, when I came across Sara's blog, I noticed we got “tagged”.
Basically, Sara was asked by a friend to answer 4 questions so people can learn more about her on her blog and tagged other people, including me and Tim, to answer them too. So, I copied and pasted the questions. Check out our answers below:

Check before you use peppers to see if they are sweet or spicy
On an unrelated side note: Tim finished his Author's Fair last week with a bang! He and his counterpart organized and hosted an award ceremony to give out prized to all the participants and winners of the writing competition. It was touching to see our local students acknowledged as writers and poets. Check out the pictures from this cool event!
