plane ride.. pretty
liesl, emily, and me on plane
Well hi guys! Thanks for all the emails. I can’t really write back right now because we have this internet thing where only four people at a time can use the internet… so it kind of sucks. So I’m writing my blog entries on word and then posting them… so everyone just check back on here. Mmk ? aha.
Not sleeping for 46 hours was interesting. I got up around 6 30 on Wednesday morning. And we didn’t arrive here until around 3 am last night. Quite fun. It was nice. They already stocked the house with snack foods. The house is really nice, I thought it would be worse.
Anyway both the flights and the 12 hour drive was fun. I had little 20 minute naps now and then, I think without that I wouldn’t be able to stay awake that long.
Mexico looked beautiful. When we flew into Cancun, it was nice and hot. The ocean from the plane looked beautiful. Going back, we are spending two nights there. Heck yes. Cant wait. Tan time. Aha. We went on a local bus (very nice AC) and drove to near where our bus was. It was a pain in the butt carrying around all our luggage. My arms still kill. But I’m thinking I have some muscle. We almost got killed crossing the road and we had some creepy guys following us, trying to take our luggage. That was interesting. Anyway when we got to our nice silver school bus, we got in, drove for an hour, and then stopped at burger king. That was good. Then we drove for 12 hours, crossed the Mexico Belize boarder.. And drove here. By that time we were all super tired.
They have good food here. They told us that we wouldn’t be fed anything to weird, so that’s good.
Today we just had these meetings telling us what’s going on. Anyway.. I must go! LEAVE COMMRNTS!
ill post more pictures later!
love you all

I just spoke with Alexandrea on the phone. She sounds excited and talking all over the place.
She's going to her "home" tomorrow. She tells me they're vegatarians - soooo no roast beef or roast beast as we like to call it. She also said that mangos are not in season right now - she's very disappointed about that. I asked her if she'd like me to send her some. Of course they'd be imported here and then I'd have to export them there. She just laughed. She'll have to find another favourite fruit I guess.
She starts work in the hospital on Monday for 3 weeks. I'm sure it's going to be a very interesting place to be. Not like the hospitals she's used to seeing here.
Keep in touch 'cause this is a lot of fun.

You are so lucky to be in warm weather! Is it Africa Hot??? LOL It's super windy here today with wind chill warnings...so please don't complain about being hot. We all wish we were there with you!
I can't wait to hear about your first day at the hospital. I hope you like it.
No meat...oh no! Just make sure you get some sort of protein or you'll be very tired ok!
I hope you are able to post some pictures too. Take care!
