It has been a whirlwind stay in our third stop in the British Vigin Islands.  We arrived Monday evening and have had a packed schedule since we stepped off the ferry in Road Town, Tortola.  We were only scheduled for three full days here, and they had a lot planned for us.  We spent Tuesday morning meeting with the BVI Heads of State.  We had a lovely chat with the Governor (assigned by the Queen) as you can see in the photo above.  Then we had a nice meeting with the Premier (elected locally) of which I will have to get a photo from one of my teammates.

I have had a vocational visit on my schedule each of the three days here.  I have spent a few hours here and there with the design team at Bolo’s, the largest local print/design shop.  I have actually done some layouts for them!  Yesterday I spent the entire day at GIS (Government Information Systems), with the official design team for the BVI government.  They are a great group of creatives who were thrilled to hear all about how we run things stateside and what we do to stay creative.  When my ride showed up at the end of the day, I was sad to leave and I am pretty sure they were sad to see me go.  Yet again, I have made so many new friends!

This afternoon we are going boating around to some of the smaller Virgin Islands.  Tomorrow morning we leave at the crack of dawn for Jamaica (with a brief stop in St. Thomas for brunch with our friends from over there).  We have a layover in Miami, so I will try to hop on and post some more photos for you all while we are there (I know pics are more fun than my ramblings!).
 

One way or another I will check in again soon.

Over and Out.
