There are good and bad aspects to living on an isolated desert island. In the end, being away from the people who really care for you is the thing that becomes most intolerable. The snakes and sharks and fierce sunshine . . . . I could deal with all of that. The endless conversations about fishing . . . . . okay, now I’m know a bull chin groper from a red snapper . . . you never know when that information will come in handy. Having no access to anything . . . . you do eventually get used to that and simply stop wanting things you can’t have.
I left the island at the end of Term 3 to give me more time to be with the people who really matter before I head off on the next chapter.
Stay tuned . . . . . January 2012 . . . . . “How to Raise a Village”.
I have a year-long contract to set up a computer classroom at a village high school in Ghana (West Africa).
