Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! I hope the holidays treated you all well. Ours were pretty busy as we did a quick round the island tour. Jenny's brother Niki and his girlfriend Petia have been visiting from Bulgaria for the last few weeks, and this was their last chance to see other spots in Jamaica. I saw some friendly faces from home when my Aunt Joanne and Uncle Jon came through Ochi on a cruise and we met up at Dunns River Falls. The Bulgarians and I then spent a few days in Portland with Tony & his beautiful new Jamaican wife Juni. We caught up with Napallo, Reina, and Joe for New Years in Negril, where we watched a cool fireworks display and sat around a beach fire till we passed out.

It's been slow coming around to reality, but my university work is calling me back. Some more friendly faces from home were around when my professor friend Tom got married in Ochi this past week. Tom is an RPCV from Kenya and was the first person I met at Tech. I'm posting the pics here. Congratulations Tom & Elizabeth!

That's all for now. A blessed new year to all.
