Saturday morning. We woke up at 6 to crowing of roosters and barking of dogs. The boys just seem to want to hang out in the apartment until we go shopping this afternoon for a helmet. Yes the mom who swore she never allow her children on a motorcycle is going to allow them on a motorcycle to come home from school.  It's one of the the only ways to get around here because we are not in a main area. It's  walking, motorcycle, bike, or tuk tuk. You can't go too fast on the motorcycle where we are because the roads are so rough so the only way you're going to get hurt is if you fall off at a slow speed or someone hits you at an intersection. The way home from school is down side streets and slow traffic so I think it should be fairly safe. They're both really excited about it.

Jonathan has made a couple new friends here with two small boys that live downstairs. They can't speak each other's languages but they know how to play soccer and pretend guns with  scraps of wood and Styrofoam. He's also had a couple good days at school and thinks he's the fastest runner in the class.  Brian's also enjoying his new school and appears to be making friends. I was told to not ask him so many questions at the end of school. Hmm...teens!

 I've spent a lot of time a lot of time cleaning . It seems that other people's  dirt is harder to live in than your own dirt.  Also, any crumbs are quickly ant magnets. I've also been to the market a couple times trying to figure out what I can cook over that open flame stove. The boys didn't like my burnt brocolli offering the other night. I was able to get them to eat eggs and noodles last night. No fast food in this area.  the closest Kentucky Fried Chicken is about 15 minutes away by motorcycle 30 by bicycle.

Tonight, if we can stay up we'll watch a movie with the leadership academy students up in the open 3rd floor on the wall.  It is supposed to be a "Hollywood"movie in English, I was told.I'm hoping next week to start observing the English classes they are already taking to see what they know and what they need. Also, I want to spend some time with each of the 34 students to get a better idea of their goals.
 hopefully soon my brain will start to not feel as tired...
