We didn't eat fast food today

This morning we got up to go to church and take a day of relaxation. Jason and Stefan went to church with Mark while Jonathan and Tim went to visit New Providence Community Church.

Afterwards, we came back to our place before Maggie cooked us a good Bahamian meal: beef spare ribs with macaroni and cheese and rice. It was so nice to have something different than Wendy's, Bamboo Shack (local fast food) or Domino's.

After we ate, we picked up Mark's son Little Mark and his friend and headed to our place to get ready for the beach. On the way back, the car stalled in the parking lot of an old Shell Gas station that was supposed to be our shortcut. Since we couldn't get it started back up again, Stefan, Jason, and Little Mark started throwing a football around. Stefan led Jason a bit too far, and he fell on a loose rock, landing with his chest on the curb while bracing the fall with his right hand, which got pretty torn up by the pavement (pictures coming later today). It's a good thing Jason was planning on hanging here while we went to the beach, since he had to clean his wound.

At the beach we just hung out and tossed the football around and relaxed in the water. The weather was just about perfect, it didn't feel hot and there wasn't too much wind, and the sun felt great. Tim is working on getting rid of his farmer's tan you probably saw in the picture of his tatoo (which he loves so much he's thinking of getting another one across his full back - Jason has been working on convincing Tim to do this since he got the first one).

After we retuned from the beach, we just relaxed here and watched part of two documentaries for ideas/inspiration: Beyond the Gates of Splendor and Revoluc!on Five Visions. After that, we went to bed around 10:30 to get rested up for the morning when we head back to C.H. Reeves Junior School to continue shooting.
