It's 9:48 at night and I'm sitting on the couch sweating...I must be in the DR! I arrived yesterday afternoon to pouring rain; I'm guessing we caught part of the first named storm of hurricane season. I've gotten settled in, met my roommate for the time I'm here (a lovely young woman named Michelle who is helping out at the children's centers), had a few family meals and a riotous game of charades. Today was election day (presidential), so whether or not there was church was questionable, but we did go to the Baptist church where a lot of the other missionaries in this area attend. Then, since everyone else was taking the day off, we headed to the beach with the missionary family that lives across the street. I somehow managed to get a little bit of color without being completely fried and have now finished the second book of the Hunger Games series all in an afternoon!
Tomorrow will likely be a slow day in San Pedro, as no one really goes to work the day after elections, so I'll be working on getting everything set for research. Hopefully interviews will happen starting on Tuesday!
This was entertaining to read for two reasons:
ReplyDelete1) I also arrived in Cambodia the weekend of elections! Nobody works the day of or really the day after, either!
2) I finally jumped on the bandwagon and read the first Hunger Games book RIGHT before coming to Cambodia and I'm completely hooked! I'm going to have my mom bring me the second book when she visits me!
