Our stay yesterday at the resort was awesome. The hot showers were great; the hamburger and pasta were tasty and everything was actually clean. As the meals at the resort are somewhat pricey we started to head into a local market in the afternoon, along the 6 lane dirt highway. With all the hustling we were receiving we turned back as we didn't think it was worth it.
We managed to squeeze in a workout at the gym and both of us have lost about 5 lbs - which is more than ok for me but Paul is now transparent:) I also wanted to give my daughter Holly a call for here birthday however it was $6 per minute so we borrowed another guest's phone, slipped in our chip and a 10 minute call cost $2.
For dinner we chose Italian - kinda funny to watch African's make an Italian dish for Canadian tastes - it was very different but it was not rice or potatoes or ugali so we very much appreciated it. Afterwards there was a wonderful show of African tribal dancers - what amazing gymnasts - the guys made a 25 ft tower with themselves with the top guy in the handstand position.
A great night's sleep brought us to morning contemplations as it is our last day here together and we started thinking about what this trip meant and how we might change and continue to help. We both like the idea of sending over a couple of old laptop computers and a mobile modem so the teachers can tap into the outside world which they have great difficulty currently doing. Much to think about, appreciate and remember.
I will be heading out of town tomorrow as well and don't expect to be on the internet for a few days so don't worry.
Thanks for sharing the journey thus far with us.
