Hash Run

On Sunday I participated in my first ever Hash Run.  No, it's not what you're thinking.  These runs are done all over the world and it's basically a group of people who get together to do runs in different parts of the country.  It's not a marathon and I would say about 1/2 the people doing it, including me, walked it.  This run was in my region, which is why I went, and took us through some beautiful areas, including sugar cane fields.

The most entertaining part of the day was before the run even began when I was at the sea wall with a few others when Holly decided she wanted to touch the water.  Now, the tide was in so the water wasn't quite to the wall, but leading up to the wall is like slanted stone and slippery when wet.  So, of course, Holly fell in.  And couldn't get out.  Another PCV, Ricky, tried to rescue her.  Only he ended up slipping into the water as well.  With everything, including his phone, in his pocket.  Now, with 2 people in the water, a human chain was started to get them out.  It was really pretty entertaining to watch, though they did reek afterward. 

Anyway, after the run there was plenty of food and drinks.  It was a beautiful walk, a lot of fun, and I hope to be doing more of these runs/walks in different parts of Guyana.  Apparently they do some in the jungle!!!!

Also, I have my permanent address.  Letters and package always appreciated.  I love getting snail mail :-)
