Wow. It is crazy how fast the time goes. I've done so much! I've never realized how much time is in a day until I had to get up at five every morning! Because of the traffic, my family has to leave the house very early to get me to the AFS meeting place on time.
Obama came and went. Everyone was so excited about his visits. There were t shirts, songs, music videos, and tons of billboards. It's really funny. They get really excited when you say you're from the U.S. and they'll reply "daughter of Obama!"
Tomorrow is the last day at the orphanage. I can't believe it. I painted all week and today we started scrubbing the floors and finishing up on other cleaning. The painting was fun...scrubbing the floors? Not so much. :] Computers were stolen from the orphanage just days before we got there and so we're collecting donations from every team member to get one or two computers for them. I feel much better about using my spending money on donating a computer than wasting it all on plantain chips (They're delicious!). The kids told us today that they have a special performance for us tomorrow. I'm excited!
We start our week of travel on Monday. We're going to various tourist attractions and coming back on Friday. That's when we get to go to super cool craft villages and markets and such. It'll be so much fun. Then I only have one more weekend with my family and then I'm coming home. I wish we had more time at the orphanage. :[
Oh and my rash is getting better, thank goodness. I was a little worried there.
