I admit that in life there's going to be things I am not good at, a list which is continually growing. Unfortunately, surfing is most definitely being added to it.
Despite not harbouring any hidden talents in the water-sport department, I had a fantastic afternoon with a Canadian couple and my fellow Yorkshire homies, attempting to look cool and catch some waves on the east-side of the island. Although when your arms aren't even long enough to carry the board properly and you keep downing phenomenal amounts of sea-water this can be quite tricky! Despite a shaky beginning (it's never a good start when you can't even lay on the board without rolling off in to the sea) I managed to half get up on to the board and glide along on my knees. After all, you weren't expecting me to to stop doing things by halves just because I left the country did you?!
We then stopped off in a lovely little
Boulangerie for cakes and ice-cream before heading home for an early night. Because before you start thinking my year abroad is all play and no work, we were actually in uni for 7h30 for a painfully long, four hour lecture and seminar on 'Francophone Caribbean Literature.' Although I do have the full day off tomorrow... :)
Until next time,

Hey girl! I admire your attempts at so many adventurous things even if you may not feel like they go so well. Having fun is the most important thing with stuff like that! I'm pretty sure surfing just might go on my list, too. Keep having fun down there! Missing you! xoxo
