Well, I'm smelly.
I forgot what being clean feels like. It would be nice to shower except candles tend to burn out when water is sprayed on them. So I'll have to wait till morning.
Oh, did I mention the power's out? It's kind of rustic, actually. I'm carrying a candle around and, as volunteer Lindsay put it, "journaling by candlelight."
Dinner was delicious tonight. We had fresh mangoes, pineapples, and avocados, along with Irish potatoes, beans, rice, and cabbage. It is ironic how bland the Fanta I bought at the market tasted after eating such fresh fruits and vegetables.
I tutored Ivan today in "science". We learned about garden tools. He's a sweet kid. After school Bella, Grace and I made bracelets together and watched the boys play soccer. I still can't get over how good they are.
We're thinking about digging a new water well and putting in a purification system. We spent the morning at Sol looking it up on the (super slow and unreliable) internet. I think it could be done.
Well, it's 9:30 and I'm off to bed. These kids wear us out! I'm not homesick but I do think of them a lot.
