I began my day in Batavia, IL after participating in my good friend Joshua Canada's wedding yesterday (Saturday). Now I am preparing to end the day in Nassau, Bahamas. I arrived safely after a relativly smooth flight. Tim, Jason, and Mark, picked me up from the airport and brought me to our house/apartment. We had about enough time to set my stuff down and run back out the door. We went to a basketball game where we watched the Bahamas National team play against the University of New Mexico. Afterwords we were able to interview the New Mexico head coach Steve Alford who played in the NBA as well as in the olympics with Larry Johnson and Charles Barkley. We also interviewed several members of the Bahamas National Team who were able to provide valuable insights into the benifits of organized sports for troubled teens.
All in all its been a pretty good day to begin my Bahamian Adventure. It was great to meet up with Tim and Jason and hear about the work they have done thus far. I was surprised to meet up with another taylor alum Stefan Davenport who will be working with Mark Beckford this summer. After the basketball game we all returned to the apartment for some pizza and laughter in the apartment. Below are several of our Bahamian Paradise.
