3 hours to Leave Time

It is currently, 2:am here in Antigua. I've stopped to take a quick break from packing. Wow the time has flown by!!! It is hard to believe that we have been here for a little over 3 months already. This past week was our student debrief week. The students took time to share with each other what they have learned throughout the year - incredible stories / powerful time!
It was also Holy Week / 'Semana Santa'. Antigua has some of the world's largest celebrations of Easter in the world. So over this past weekend the streets were packed with the festivities. Here are some picture from Good Friday.

Earlier today, all of our staff and students made it out of country... easier said than done sometimes! Hopefully, our next post will be from Winnipeg - there is the potential for some technicality problems with our passports. ..

Hey crazies...just thought I'd let you know that we're going to miss ya in the bush. If your driving back through Saskatoon...stop on by, we'd love to see ya. Heather is due with baby #2 in about a month! I am busy with teaching FT so you would have to be by after 3 pm. Hope all is well. Loved the Good Friday pics and I recognized a few places in Antigua from a life gone past.
