I'm down to ten weeks in Martinique and I'm thinking about returning to the U.S., working on my e portfolio and Spanish course and trying to envision what to do after teaching in Martinique.
I've made a great friend in Hortense. She's been great about driving me about and helping to learn about Martinique. She's teased me about not going to the beach to bathe, but I'm not a beach-person.
I think that I learned a lot about the French Caribbean while living in Martinique. I'm glad that I came here. I had moments when I wanted to be in France and visit other countries in Europe and in North Africa. But I think that the Caribbean served me culturally. Also it has been great to be amongst so many black, Caribbean/Latin American people. I really like being here.
I wonder how I will feel when I return to the United States? I wonder if I will feel different for the rest of my life after the experience of living in Martinique?
I wish that I had gotten to know Tifanie better, but I suppose that all things happen for a reason.
It turned out that I could have lived in the residential tower at Lycée Professionnel Raymond Néris, but I just didn't know about it. I will try to inform the next assistant as soon as I know who they are.
Well, I bought my return ticket with JetBlue. I arrived safely with them. The only problem was that the sound wasn't loud enough from the movies that they play. Otherwise the trip was good from NYC to Vieux Fort.
I'm looking up Couchsurfers in Vieux Fort. I'll see if one can welcome me for a night.
Until next time,
Aaron
