Greetings from Georgetown! After twenty four hours of travel we have made it to our destination! At 6:00 a.m. on May 1st, we loaded up from Wartburg and set out for Chicago. We checked in without any hitches but had to wait four over an hour and a half in the plane before we could take-off because of luggage difficulties. On our way into JFK we experienced a nice view of the sunset and the New York skyline. With the five hour lay-over, we were able to do some preliminary bonding over a game of spoons. Most of us can’t recall much of the flight down to Guyana as we attempted to sleep much of the way. We arrived unscathed in the Cheddi Jagan International Airport around 7:00 a.m. and were able to recover all of our baggage. We met Roop at the airport and had a very exhilarating ride to Roop’s house. Many of us experienced the true function of the horn for the first time. Hot food and cold beer greeted us as we arrived, and we all knew this would be the start to a very productive and educational trip. The rest of the day was filled with napping and just hanging out. Generally we are moving pretty slow due to the overall heat and humidity, but we are planning on going hammock shopping at the markets downtown tomorrow.
