We are feeling very disconnected from the U.S.A. For some reason the Internet here has blocked us from using yahoo. It worked the first day or two......now we can't send or receive emails. Bummer. Blogger is touch and go. I'll try and post as much as I can when it's working. I can't read the comments though........another bummer.
Yesterday the newspaper crew came and did a story on us. They were taking tons of pictures and asking questions. Today another local newspaper came to the amusement park. They followed us around taking pictures of us with the children. When we returned to the orphanage the 4 air conditioners were all in place and 2 of them were hooked up and running. The other two needed additional wiring but should be running tomorrow. The play room was so much more comfortable today. The staff was also bringing in a computer desk and setting up their new computer. Tomorrow they will be hooked up to "high speed" (yeah right) Internet. There was a team from the local T.V. station following us around today. They were taking pics and video of all the happenings. It was so exciting!!!!
We told them we had a couple of artists among us and they were thrilled to have the walls brightened up. The children just loved the pictures. Tomorrow Angela and Jessica will work in the play room and some of the team memberes will try their hand at painting.
We took a walk downtown tonight and watched the street performers. It was so beautiful. Of course..........you couldn't really see much through the construction dust and smog. (Don't worry mom......I wore a mask)
I guess since this seems to be working I'll post some more pics before I go to bed.
Enjoy!
