Lynda flew home to St. Lucia in the morn. And then there were four.

Children's class went very well. This time we had three different classes based on age. We hung out with the participants for about two hours. We played games, and I showed off some of my card tricks.

Halva, a man who sells jewellery made of bamboo, seeds, and nuts, invited us to go on a hike. We were up in the hills at the border of a sugar cane field and the rainforest for what felt like one hour but was actually three. To get there, we had to drive deep into the cane fields, park, and walk for a few minutes. We helped him cut off pieces of bamboo that he will make into earrings, anklets, etc. On the walk back, he cut us off some sugar can to try. First you have to crunch and grind it with your teeth to make it soft. Then you can suck out the sugary juice. It is so good! This year the sugar cane industry of the island was shut down. I don't understand why. Many people lost their jobs because of it. It also means that all the sugar cane on the island isn't harvested and is free for the taking.

We stopped to visit Ernie on the drive home. She is a Bahá'í that Kay knows from last time she was here. [Edit: Whoopi Goldberg is one of Ernie's cousins.] She was surprised that we went up into the hills with Halva. She said he is a Rasta and is into marijuana. So we need to be mindful of that as we follow up with his invitation to go hiking again.

By golly! The full moon (plus one day) reflected beautifully off of the ocean as we drove home along the Northeastern shore! Even when clouds covered the moon, you could see its spotted reflection all the way to the horizon!

Kay's computer crashed again. So we might not have internet until Tuesday. I hope we study One Common Faith more tomorrow.
