We're going to meet the kids this afternoon. We've separated the suitcases of stuff into several piles: children's clothes, adult clothes, toys, and medicine. We'll deliver just some of the candy and toys this moring and bring the rest later.
Before we load up for the 1.5 hour ride to the orphanage we took a walk in the very affluent or wealthy secion of the city - I can only imagine what the poor section looks like!
We just finished lunch; last night's fish head curry and spinach as well as some new things like french fries. Evidently they don't waste anything and since Paul is the only one eating the fish - all those trips to Asia has gotten him acclimated to exotic foods - we'll be having it again until it's done. Paul is going to have to step it up and take one for the team.
BTW...Beth drank some water from the faucet and while I don't wish her any ill will, it should make for some great material if she gets Montazuma's revenge. I'll keep you posted.

Beth...Does the drinking the tap water have to do with you drinking everyone elses drinks?
Shan - I would have LOVED to see your face when they brought you out the fish curry...we can't even eat fish with the skin on the bottom, remember Bonefish?
Paul and Shannin you and the family are in my prayers. I can only say after reading your blog I am so thankful for water plants. good roads and sanitation. By the way, I am Turra. I have been good friend with Paul's mom for many years. I will keep reading the blog and hope to see you all the next time I get to Florida.
