This past week we were lucky enough to be graced with the presence of our good friend Heidi A. Wood. She flew down from Colorado (where she’s currently attending school) on Dec 9 and left this past Thursday en route to her hometown Fairbanks, Alaska.
Of the 7 days here, we spent most of our time in Accompong, where she joined Julie for class, helped paint the library, read to our book club members, attended the school fair, met JACOM reps and Jr. Council members, learned how to make june plum and sorrel juice, hiked around, and of course did what Heidi and Julie do best, chatted endlessly together.
Julie and Heidi did take a side trip to Kingston, in which they subsequently met up with Matt in Treasure Beach for a weekend getaway.
Not surprising to any of us, HW blended right in with our daily lives, ‘smalling up’ in public transportation, walking through the heart of Kingston surrounded by hustlers and higglers, supervising pickney, eating all the local foods, interacting with fellow PCVs and community members, dealing with the endless male attention, taking cold showers, going with the flow. We’d highly recommend her as a future PCV, and of course will always welcome her with open arms should she decide to visit again… much love HW!
