We had originally planned to have two service days for the kids but it turned out to be a mess. In the end, I and two other staff/parents went out and did some of it for them since they couldn't make it due to a performance and a bus schedule that is very sketchy.
Mrs. Zule made us lemonade. She as really great. Really the whole thing turned out to be rather fun.

I have a new favorite food. Loquats. If you can tell me how to get them in the states I will love you forever. Very hard to describe. Like a cross between and orange and a mango maybe??? Basically they are just amazing and I ate a ton of them. The tree was rather wounded.
the view was really great but you can't even begin to capture it in a picture. just like most everything else.
This is Messina House where we stayed. Right on the water.
We rented a boat and took it out on a tour and swam some too. at least the brave did.

This is the sunken ship Vixon. Apparently they sunk it on purpose to block the bay. Our guide said it was the worst ship ever built anyway. It was built to ram but couldn't ever get up enough speed to even do anything.
A couple of my girls in the stocks in Saint George which is the historical end.
Living was rather primitive. Rigging up a mirror in any corner was rather common.
One of the girl's rooms. 35 girls, two bathrooms, NO space. You felt like you were living on top of people. And forget about getting into a bathroom. It's amazing I didn't end up with a bladder infection.

This is where I hung out quite a bit. The staff usually congregated in the kitchen and I could actually sit down. Words cannot describe how crowded we were.
Giving them some instructions before letting them lose... I took a group of kids to the aquarium/zoo.
A massive sea turtle. This was was in captivity but we actually got to see one this big out on one of our Ferry rides.
