I am now an expert truck driver! Hahaha. I have been driving around the largest, most hilarious truck for the past 3 days. WorldTeach rented a truck for us to have over the weekend, and they needed a DD for one of the nights we went out. I volunteered and apparently that was volunteering for the whole weekend.
The first night we had the truck, we got ready to leave to drive to the bar and we realized that the lights didn’t work! So we drove down the road in the pitch black, with no streetlights trying not to drive off the road. There was not a single thing about the truck that worked properly! On the way home, we finally got pulled over and the cops fixed our lights – but that barely did anything though because I still couldn’t see a thing! hahah And this morning when I got into drive to town, the first time I braked ALLLL of the water that was on the roof from raining the night before came pouring into my lap through the hole in the roof. That was pleasant. Driving that truck for the weekend was by far the most hilarious experience I have had since I got here, and it was strangely a lot of fun. This truck made Carl (my car in Maine) look as beautiful and pristine as a brand new BMW!
Aside from going out, we had a pretty relaxing weekend. We took a trip to Laura beach – the very end of the Majuro atoll – and hung out there for the day. I set up my hammock and read for pretty much the whole time. The tide was too far out to really go in the water – because you have to walk about 200 yards out over the coral to get into water deeper than a few inches. That hammock is getting a lot of use Alex! But it is a bit interesting trying to set it up sometime because I have to use rope I find laying around wherever I am. I will definitely have to invest in some rope – or have someone send me some!
