Saturday morning. After hand-washing a few items and hanging them up around our room and outside, Lily, Dan, and I left for an adventure in the city. We visited a wholesalers, various shops, the handicraft market, then ended with McDonalds. There's something so comforting about tasting the dill pickle and American ketchup in a cheeseburger when you're in a foreign country surrounded by the unfamiliar. Best purchase of the day (aside from the cheeseburger): a hand fan. (I forgot mine in New Zealand!) It was so still and humid and hot all morning...then Dan bought me the fan from the handicraft market. What a nice guy! Sweet relief!We came home after lunch and immediately the thunder storm came. It's now after 7pm and while the rain is just a mist now, the thunder is still rumbling. I really enjoy being inside and safe, but with the windows wide open to catch the breeze and boom of the thunder. I guess it's kinda like walking with God. He's so powerful and mighty, but I'm safe.
I thought I'd send you through a note from the kids.

Donna says "No" - she's in one of those moods! :P
Agreed. =)
