I have enjoyed so many experiences today that I haven't had in forever. I had icecream, swam in a pool, took a warm shower afterwards, never once lost electricity, went to a grocery store, and am now sitting on my bed using the internet. Each of these things are firsts in the last two months. I am not sure what to do with myself. I am so excited that I can't sleep. Well, part of that is probably largely related to the fact that I actually had ice cream twice today. It was so good the first time I just wanted to make sure it was really true. :) Tomorrow will be a full day of historic sights, shopping, exploring, and eating whatever we so please. It feels good to be spoiled every once in a while. I know that once this weekend is over I will head back to the orphanage and that will be okay too. I love the kids and leaving today, just for a weekend, made me realize how sad I will be to leave at the end of the year. But in the next few days, I am determined to realign my perspective, get some much needed sleep, and enjoy the great culture offered here. Well, off to some of that much needed sleep. As the tour book put it - "I have sumptious linens and a therapuetic bed." :) Wow.
