This morning I met up with Anna (the daughter of some fellow missionaries) to spend a morning at the market. It was rather fun and it was the first time I ate market food. I have been afraid of it causing stomach problems, but seeing as I haven't been able to keep food in me longer than a couple hours over the past four days, I figured it didn't matter. She took me to this little restaurant outside of the market which sells sandwhiches. It looked like a Toronto street meat stand with a daycare sized table behind it plus an umbrella above the table to protect you from the rain. The sandwhich was actually really good. Then we headed inside for fresh squeezed orange juice. YUM! To squeeze the oranage they shave off the peel and then squish it.
(The orange juice shop. The green things that the man is peeling are the oranages...they're green here.)

(Noah, because I was unable to show you the gecko on skype, here he is. This is just one of the many geckos that hangout on our ceiling each evening.)
(It rained a lot this week so this is a picture of the flooded street that is right by my house -- taken from my balcony.)

Food not sitting well with you? That's not fun. I love hearing about all of your adventures.
I think you need to bring back a gecko for Noah, I'm sure he'd really like it (tee hee).
Keep the blogs coming. I enjoying hearing all about your activities.
In my prayers.
Beth, Noah may like it but Jackie sure would not appreciate it that is for certain.
Beca, keep your geckos over there.
Do you mean that they are always in your apartment every night? Do they poop on you? Do they bother you? You are a much better person than me. Today Noah saw a snake on our street and screamed snake and Jackie was so frightened she spilt her coffee all over her. Insects and reptiles are definitely not for us.
