PLEASE make sure you go out to the website (http://www.sguacademy.com/) and see the newly posted pictures. Our children do seem to dominate the pictures ....they are the cutest and craziest!!!! You should be very proud :-)
Yesterday we went to the beautiful Anendale Waterfalls - there are 7 amazing waterfalls in Grenada and some smaller ones throughout the island - this is one of the smaller ones but much safer. As you go through the pictures, you can see the kids loved jumping into the water - all sorts of crazy poses. You might want to ask Gabe how the jump felt when he landed (see the first slide) - yikes!!!!! Sometimes they don't really think things through..... The water was cool, the rocks very slippery, but all had a great time and no sprained ankles.
In the afternoon, we returned to Grand Anse beach - gorgeous clean white sand and the water was blue and calm and the perfect temperature. They prepared an amazing barbeque on the beach - chicken, huge hamburgers, fish kebabs, salads, baked potatoes and ice cream bars. The pics of the kids are great; playing on the beach and riding the waves.
Last night we had a new experience - Tivoli Drummers. The Tivoli Drummers are an Afro-Caribbean group based in the village of Tivoli, in the parish of St. Andrew, Grenada. The style of drumming in Tivoli comes from the traditional drumming brought to Grenada by African men and women during the slave era. It was a very interactive event - all the kids participated dancing to the different rhythms - they were amazing!!
Today and tomorrow are academic days. This morning, the students engaged in a suture clinic program. The docs taugh basic sutures and then they were able to to practice 3 different stitch styles on cadavers - both the vet and meds are involved in this.
This afternoon, the med students will visit the hospital and the vets will attend an Ocean Spirits lecture. The hospital should prove to be a very eye-opening adventure - there is no air conditioning, only wards, no private rooms, very different from what we are used to in the USA. They will get to speak and interview different patients.
Tonight the kids will be researching different clinical cases - very similar to what they do in Physiology/Pathophyiology classes and then they will present them tomorrow. Each group has a different case. Their presentations will be presented tomorrow morning!
