Hi Everybody,
So far, so good! We are feeling pretty normal now with our new schedule. That's pretty great since it is completely opposite to U.S. time! Mark and Natalie have made good friends with the kids here which is really nice for both parties. The parents of these kids are the ones that Elizabeth stays with quite often when she travels through her capitol city. They are doing a similar project with a group of people there.
Tonight I think Mark and Natalie are going to stay with their new friends while Dave and I go with Elizabeth and her friends, Christy and her husband and baby, out for dinner.
Dave and Elizabeth and I went to the Night Market together (we ride motorbikes there - quite a thrill!) and Elizabeth and I were quite entertained as Dave struck up conversations with all of these people - who do not know English. It was a whole new experience trying to make purchases by BARGAINING. Elizabeth is VERY good at it.
The other night we rode the bikes into town (Natalie and Elizabeth and I are on one bike) and saw the lantern festival up close. WOW - it was amazing. We ate at an American restraurant - the best shrimp and other American food (carrot cake to die for!) and half the price of what we would pay in US.
We are all doing well and enjoying sharing training with Elizabeth as well as opportunities to see this unbelievable country.
Tomorrow we may ride and elelphant and go bamboo rafting! -
More later - as we have a chance. Thanks for all your thoughts!
Love, Jane Anne
