A day in RED(as-our-sunburn)BAY

OKAY guys it's our turn to rock the blog! Celine and Robyn reporting from the always sunny and hot Andros Island! To start out the day, we went to a dock down in Red Bay where local sponge fishermen were out and about. Then we traveled down the road to Amelia Marshall's house. This island's midwife/medicine woman has delivered 85% of the island's children! That's a lot of babies! She shared many stories with us and showed us all of the awards that she has received throughout the years. After that, we went over to Otis the sponge fisherman's house where we all bought sponges super cheap; Chris got the best deal! Then we went to world renowned woodcarver Henry Wallace's house. He shared with us his story ,including the process in which his work ended up being displayed in the Smithsonian, and that he knew Bob Marley four years before he died...Yeah Mon'! Jumping back on the bus we headed over to Nicolls Town where we anxiously awaited our lunch of fried conch. After what seemed like forever the food arrived, and was VERY delicious! With full stomachs we got back on the bus and ventured over to Uncle Charlie's Blue Hole. Bursting with excitement, Celine was the first to make the eight foot dive. Everyone enjoyed the fresh water, only to find out that we were swimming with a dead guy...WHAT!?! The blue hole was named after a diver who died trying to explore this blue hole one last time. The long day's history lesson concluded with visiting some Bahamian shops, chillin down with ice cream cones, and a basket weaving session. Robyn and Justin can probably find a use for their baskets, whereas the rest of us.........just forget it! Day number 4 has been amazing! We miss everyone! This is Beans and Brain saying.....keep building snowmen for our sandcastles! =D (Pictures are still hard to upload..but we'll keep trying)
