Day 80:
This morning I actually got to sleep in.... Until maybe 10 :30! That has to be the latest I have slept in since I have arrived. We lazed around for part of the day.. just because we could!! Around noon we decided we would get productive and go for a walk to this shopping centre called the "Yaya" . We are pretty close to it ( It's only a few Km's away) so we decided we would get ready and walk down. As we were walking, it seems many people are very intrigued to see white people walking..?! We even had some cabs honk because they thought since we are white we would want a drive. (It may be hard to understand this.. but they don't look at whites ordinary here.We are sort of... Money on legs, sweets on legs.. etc!) Not fun. So we arrived at the centre, walked inside and.. WOW!?!? It was sort of a westerner type! We spent a bit there, and walked around.. ! SO nice to get groceries that are not rice and beans :)! We stayed there for a bit, and then went back. As soon as we were back, we decided we would have a nice, relaxed night.. WITH NO NOISE?! :) And had a dinner without Chapatis.. !
It is some nice to be able to regain your strength, emotional stable-ness, and have peace. ( It is peaceful where we are, but we have so much to do)
