Yesterday I went for lunch with Jenny and Ysmaille (Cadeau couldn't come). We went to Epidor a popular restaurant in Petionville. When I walked in I felt like I was at home. North American food, air conditioning and nice tables and chairs. It was great!!! There was even some Canadian police officers from the Canadian Embassy eating there.
So Jenny is really nice and it was great to meet her. After we finished eating we went to her house. She is house sitting for a missionary family who have gone back to the USA until January. The house is HUGE and it has a POOL! Jenny invited me to come over for a swim anytime. I was very excited. I told her I'll bring some of my many teenage brothers with me and she said that would be okay. The only difficulty is that I can't get there by myself. Ysmaille said he'd come with me but I can't always count on him going with me everytime I want to go somewhere. Jenny said that I should come for a weekend some time and sleep over. She can pick me up and bring me back. I said I would love that!
The house that Jenny is staying in comes with the biggest dog I have ever seen. He is absolutely massive and he drools a lot. I did not like him too much and Ysmaille kept putting a pillow over his head so the dog wouldn't drool all over him:)
Afterwards, Jenny came to Coram Deo with us so she would know how to get there when she comes to visit or to pick me up. All the guys were very excited to meet my American friend and asked me many questions after she left (how old is she? does she have a boyfriend?)
So, I'm excited to have a new friend especially because she's a girl and she speaks English and Creole.
About the language situation. I've decided a need a tutor and Karen is trying her best to get me one. I'm not learning fast enough by myself and I can't always expect others to teach me when they have lots to do of their own. Hopefully we can find a tutor soon since school starts on September 5.
