A lot has happened in the last 4 days. On Tuesday it was Jane's last day. So Kylie, Fernanda, Michael, Jane and I took a trip. Jane wanted to go to Green Sands beach and Southpoint. We got to Green Sands and started our hike in. It is about a 45 min hike into the beach.
It was well worth the hike- it was beautiful!!! Really windy but still beautiful! It was hidden inside a ravine in the middle of a desert. You get to the cliff and look down and you see the green sands and the beautiful ocean hitting it.. We swam for a while then decided to start the hike back but we got picked up along the ride. So great!! We then on the way out stopped at South point. Which is the most southern part of the island. There really isn't much to it except that it is a known place for cliff jumping. 
I have been hearing its the best place to jump there is a ladder and everything built in there. It is about a 50 ft. jump. We walked around for a bit and took some pictures then decided to check the jump out. I went back and forth a couple times then decided that if I didn't do it I would be disappointed when I got home. So Michael decided to do it as well. I made him jump first... then it was my turn. I walked up to the cliff and almost backed out. but then just jumped-- the whole time I was thinking keep your legs straight and together or it is going to hurt. But once your in mid-air it is hard... I ended up only having one leg straight and the other one was bent a little. As you will notice in my picture. But it stung so bad-and I have quite the big bruise going. But it was totally worth it! And I even think that I would do it again. 
Then that night about 20 of us were going to the lava to see Pele' because it was the full moon. We left around 10:30pm and returned around 2am. It was such a long day but was well worth the exhaustion. Wed. I had to get up and work and was so tired... I was giving my shift leader a hard time all day... asking her when my nap time was. It was funny!! She doesn't speak english really clearly so she usually laughs at me and says no and just says my name...
That night I was taking Jane to the airport so we left a little early so we could go to Jamba juice before she had to get to the airport. It was sad to see another SFS member go... But we will see each other again! Thursday was another working day. Friday was our staff trip for July. Kimo was taking us to Volcanoes National Park. There was about 15 of us that went. 
We visited the museums and then went on a 6 mile hike through the crater. It was pretty amazing!!! We also stopped to give an offering to Pele'. Friday was also Paul's birthday. He is on staff in the kitchen. Amma was planning this special dinner for him. It was actually a dress up dinner. 
Where there were servers and everything. We even had to wait to be seated. Everyone looked so great! It was so much fun!! Then she also had put together a aquatic dance in the pool. It was pretty much a sequenized swimming routine. It was funny and great. After that we all headed to the field of dreams for a bonfire and Amma, Nathan and Kimo spun fire. It was a great night! So much fun!!! Lets see.. what else is knew.. .so I am going through the process of a possible extension. I am not commiting to anything yet. I am just going through the paperwork for it. I am also checking into other things for after my time here. Hope everyone is doing great!!
