Okay. I have had about enough orientation for a while. I've been in Georgetown since Monday morning and am ready to move to my site and start my assignment. Georgetown has been pleasant. I have found the National Park which is a fairly decent place to go running and today we drove around and found some nice sights and stopped at the seawall and some of the bustling markets.
The market |
Since I'm currently living out of a hotel, I have limited use for most of the wares being sold at the market but I can definitely see myself coming back there when I can cook up some of the fresh foods being sold.

The City Hall |
The seawall is a tease. It looks nice but the water color hints at the tainted nature of the water due to both amazonian silt as well as raw sewerage. I will not likely be swimming in the ocean. What is cool about it though is that all 280 miles of it,built by the Dutch, serves a very useful purpose. It actually retins the Atlantic Ocean which is 6 feet higher than most of Guyana!
I'm in Georgetown until Saturday morning then I head to New Amsterdam and start at the hospital on the Monday. I'll have a better idea how this year is going to go at that point.
Until then,
Cheers!
