I had a nice, slow morning, and after a yummy lunch of plantains, rice, and peanut sauce, I went to the market and bought some cloth. After dinner, the seamstress came over and we talked dress designs, and she took my measurements. I'm pretty excited to see the results in a few days!
In the market, we saw some cool stuff, though I was mostly just looking today. We saw a machine that knits! I never realized they used a machine for making sweaters and such. I tried to get a picture, but the woman wanted money. So no picture. :-(
We also went in a supermarket and rode in a taxi. Things are much more like the West here, but not entirely, even if there is a supermarket. It is a fraction of the size of ones in the States - it was slightly bigger than a nice Daily's.
In the evening session, I got to interact with the kids. They are cool - hyper, but I like 'em. It was also interesting to see my kiddos from home with other kids; I saw some personality changes that surprised me (like going from super outgoing to won't talk shy). Very interesting.
I also got to "talk shop" with some of the teaching folk around. We even did some idea talking about planning for our school session next month. I'm getting excited about the potential for that.
The dust feels like smoke. My nose and throat are freaking out. Feels like a sinus headache. So prayers are appreciated for that, and for the rest of our time here!
