LW BVI sess1 day 6

Author: Kim A
Location: Road Town
Today we woke up at 6:45 am. We began cooking, cleaning and preparing for the day. We enjoyed a breakfast of cereal. A t around 8:15 we took the dingies around the corner to VISAR, the Virgin Island Search and Rescue. We all picked weeds, plants and did some gardening for the rescue squad (which is made up completely of volunteers). We learned about what they do around the islands and it was quite inspiring. VISAR seems to appreciate what we have accomplished for them. It was a very hot and long afternoon, but we all got through it and jumping in the ocean when we arrived back at the boat felt that much better. Some of us jumped in and then prepared to go into Road Town for a few hours. We got to the dock and walked down the street to where the shops were. Most were closed since it is Sunday, but we found some that were open and bought many souvenirs. At 5:00 we met back at the dock and took the dinghies back to the boat. It was then shower time which was quite fun and then we all prepared for dinner. Tonight we got a special treat which was going out to dinner in Road Town at a lovely local restaurant. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals a lot of us got dressed up tonight which was a nice change. Today was Stephanie's birthday! We all gave her a card and candy which she loved. Overall it was a fabulous day.
