Our morning VBS was canceled so we just chilled all morning. I played dominoes with Brad, Larry, and Roger. Then we left after lunch for Mandeville. Mandeville is up in the hills, so it’s a 3 hour drive up a very, VERY windy road. Once we got there we did a show at Alligator pond, which is a primary school there. There were a lot of kids. We wound up going late so we got a late start driving back. Then is started raining, which made it longer. A lot of people wound up feeling sick on the way down; a mix of the roads and long day I think.
One thing that’s cool about Mandeville is that you can see the stars as night. Normally down on the coast there is so much humidity in the air that most of the stars don’t shine through. Mandeville is high enough up though that you can see the stars. And there are TONS of them because there’s hardly any light pollution at all. Even when days are long and stressful, I’m still amazed at the beauty of the island. On the grounds of the school there was a mango tree, and one of the kids climbed up to the top where the ripe mangos were and picked me one. It was unlike any mango I have ever eaten. Yet another aspect of God’s creation that amazes me.
