Day of Awesomeness :)

Soooo yesterday was just a day of awesomeness :) In the morning there was this huge gathering thingy downstairs at the orphanage. There were important looking people, nuns and get this.... camera crews, photographers. Yeah so somewhere out there last night on Mexican television my face was probably a little dot :) Its my claim to fame :) Then in the afternoon the kids had gotten tickets to the circus which is in town right now. So we drove down with all the kids to go see that. They all got pop, popcorn and a cookie to eat during the very entertaining show. It´s been awhile since I´ve been to a circus so I also enjoyed it very much. Yesterday was also the first time I´ve driven in a vehicle since I got picked up from the airport, and my first time driving with a Mexican. They´re crazy drivers!!! Plus there´s no real seatbelt law in Mexico except that the driver has to wear one. So no one was wearing seatbelts and the little kids sat on our laps. So I held on to Sarahi for dear life the whole time so she didn´t fly out the window :) I´ve been here 5 weeks now and only have 3 left. I can´t believe how fast it´s going it´s unreal. But it´s been such an awesome and rewarding experience so far. However 5 weeks is starting to take it´s toll on my supplies. My hand sanitizer is pretty much gone and the only other hand sanitizer I can find in this whole city is attatched to a bag of Depends. I cant decide if it´s worth it to buy the Depends just so I can have the sanitizer... :) I´m also running out of toilet paper, apparantly I go through more than three rolls in two months :)

  1. Oh Ashley! This sounds just like something your Aunt J would write. Funny! So what exactly was this gathering thingy. I would go for the hand sanitizer and donate the Depends somewhere. Just be careful out there and enjoy! Aunt Brenda
