This blog belongs to Owen who is 11 years old. He moved to Grenada in September 2014 with us, his family, while I volunteer with Cuso International. He is sharing his thoughts about moving to a foreign country, living in the Caribbean and how it is to come home after ten months away.

On On

Yesterday we went to Westerhall Rum Factory and we did 850th Harrier Hash in Grenada.

The first cut off path was the "Chicken V" path. You might think a chicken path is for people who chicken out. Really it is for the people who are sick with Chickungunya - like my mom. We didn't take that path because mom stayed home.

We kept walking past the cut-off path for about 10 minutes until the path got really bunched up. It took about ten more minutes just to get onto the hill and then another 15-20 minutes to go up the hill. Then we walked for about 10 minutes you walk to a forest which leads to a valley. When you go down to the valley there is a circle in the path and you pick whether you want to go the short way or the long way. We took the long walk.

Luckily when we got to the long route cut-out a runner told us about a small path we had to go to. When we got down the path, we found a couple of cut-outs that had "X"s which means you can't go on it. We kept going until we found other hashers who told us to keep going
forward. We did some running and some walking. It wasn't as muddy as the last one, but it did rain, but only for a few minutes.

When we got back there were about 150 already done. This hash about 300 people were doing the hash. We stayed about 20-30 minutes at the end because mom had dinner waiting.
