PC Safety and Security

Life here's been busy, but good. We just had a Peace Corps "Safety and Security" conference yesterday and we heard about the various pick-pocketing and robberies some of the volunteers have been subject to in the last few months... pretty scary!! 

One girl was robbed at machete-point! An older woman volunteer was pushed down into the street and had her purse straps break the robber was pulling so hard! 

 Luckily, Bryan and I haven't had any scares at all. (knock on wood) We've gained a lot of "street smarts" here and I think we're pretty aware of our surroundings. 

 My sister is visiting us the last week of March (her Spring break) so we're going to show her the ropes of Jamaica, and go to the white sand beaches, and the beautiful waterfalls, etc. 

 I hope I didn't scare you with the robberies, in case you want to come out to visit!
