One Week Respite

Today thousands (maybe millions!) of residents left the city in route to their hometowns. This next week is both a religious and national annual holiday and, for the most part, the city has emptied. We started things off right today with four hours of fun at the pool. We were seven adults, six kids, goggles, floaties, frisbees and all! It truly was a great day and we're looking forward to the upcoming week. During this week, Betty hopes to learn to drive our standard transmission Toyota Kijang, I hope to learn to drive a motorbike, and we both hope to get some rest and perspective. We just returned from the movie rental store (Global Video!) with three flicks and there's a pizza on the way (Pizza Hut, medium, green pepper and onion, stuffed crust, $6.50). Though our entertainment options and food selection is limited, we're thankful for what we got (it's a lot more than some of our co-workers elsewhere). It's 5:37pm here and the sun (like everyday at this time) has just about retired for the day. Each A/C in both rooms are cranked and we're bout to shut ourselves in. Have a good day everyone. Go Heels!
