On the way back from the airport Saturday after Gustav, between Middle Quarters and Bamboo Ave. I got out my camera on the shallow water spot to take pictures while i was driving. Went through it earlier in the day so knew it wasn't too bad(the mini bus has a snorkel). The water gets up to the license plate of the Honda CRV in front of me down past the white car. Didn't think it was the wisest thing to keep taking pictures once the water got that deep. :)
Sheldon and Rachel came over the Wednesday before they left and cooked dinner for me. We had a great time and I learned Sheldon's Sweet and Sour Chicken recipe. I also learned how to cook Calaloo & Cabbage, Yams and Plantain.
Sheldon Burkett, my brother and amazing friend!!! had to get a pic of the two of us with our 'bald' heads. It was hard to leave him at the airport... counting down the days until May when he and Rachel hopefully come back on break.

Andrea excited for the beach


Dennis and Damion
Sheldon and Simone at Negril for Independance Day(last Wednesday, Sug 6th)... I told everyone here that I would drive where ever they wanted to go for the holiday. I told them they needed to pay $200 each for fuel and then when we got to the gas station gave their money back... Ionda called me a liar and couldn't trust me, but was laughing and thanking me the whole time! Thanks to all of you for making the surprise possible with your support!! this isn't staged, we had 20 of us in the mini-bus for the 3+ hour trip!:)
