Hey ya'll,
Another week has gone by here in the land of mosquito bites and sweat. This week I got to help more with the children at school and although they don't really like me, I sure do like them! As you may know, my birthday was on Thursday. It was probably one of the best work days I've had yet. After watching the kids do their morning dancing we all headed out to a different building where the faculty usually has meetings. We had a little ceremony where the kids honored the teachers and the teachers blessed the children (or something). I got a blessing from my boss so that's cool. And then we had ice cream! Best birthday ever!!!
Later that night the other girls surprised me and took me out to Mexican food. That was a nice birthday tradition continued.
Friday we went to some floating cabins out on a reservoir. It was probably one of the coolest things ever. We stayed outside for the whole night. We slept out on the dock and woke up to the sunrise. Saturday morning we hiked up to a bat cave that monks watch over and talked to the monks for awhile. When we left the reservoir we went to a cool waterfall. It was cool because the rocks under the waterfall were rough and we could literally climb up the waterfall. We went up and down a few times and just spent some time getting nice and wet. It was a blast!
That night we went back to the city and got some good ice cream that Chris bought for me for my birthday. So pretty much the best birthday weekend ever! I love all of this nature. It's so so beautiful and I'm thinking I might actually miss it when I leave.
