My first visitors!

My mom and a couple friends visited me this summer. My first farin (foreign) visitors!!!

I was super excited. This happened right after MSC. The open water swim was after MSC too. My mom and I swam in the race. And we did great! I even got a small mention in the newspaper!
WEBSITE ON SWIM RESULTS.

It was so comforting to see my mom. We stayed at a hostel called Nix Na, a big three story colorful artsy place. And it’s a ten minute walk from 007 Beach. The same area where Ian Flemming wrote his books for James Bond.

We met up with Laura and Leah to go visit Kingston and traveled around there a bit. Everyone saw the Peace Corps Office, we saw Emancipation park, and we went to Tracks and Records. Tracks and Records is owned by Usain Bolt. The food was actually descent, I’ve heard mixed reviews. And I was happy to drink flavored Red Stripe Light. There is apple, ginger and lime. Red Stripe Light Ginger is delicious! 

But the best part was when I got everyone to visit Bellefield. This was the same day as my mom’s 53rd birthday. It was the last week of school, and we got to the school right before lunch. I was able to ask a teacher to tell the students to sing her Happy Birthday. SO CUTE!!!!!

It was my mom’s favorite birthday I think anyways.



Laura and Leah played with the students during lunch time. All the kids at my school LOVED them!! Leah took pictures of everyone playing and such. She captured so much.

The most fun moments and the entirety of their visits went like a flash. I’m glad they came.
