Back from our "rest" day

Again...an amazing day.

Dan and I, along with Hans (a Norwegian student that goes to school with us) took a trip to a small town to see the people of the village. The local chiropractor took us there and let us adjust all of the students in the school (3-15 year olds) and some people from the village. It was SO awesome to get to see so many children. There were a few cryers, as can be expected, but we got them settled down and they were so excited to eat the dum-dums we brought them. All of the children see us and just stop and stare at us. They dont see foreigners often, so we were a new sight to many of them.

As we drove into the town, (at about 120 km/hr because everyone drives CRAZY here!), we stopped to talk to the locals to tell them we were going to see them. It was so awkward to talk with a man holding a chiken under its wings and around its feet. I´m not sure if he had just bought it to have dinner or to get eggs, but either way, I was distracted by his chicken as we spoke.

We also had a spectacular lunch, however we can´t eat most things they serve us. They grow everything they eat in their village, but we can´t eat the raw vegetables. What I wold give for a salad right now...mmmm.

At the end of the day, we packed up the car and visited the chiropractors house. Lets just say its not quite the houses chiropractors in America live in, but they have all sorts of fruit trees in their yard which was awesome. We picked up his two 4month old german shepard puppies so they could go to the vet for their checkup. So, as soon as we loaded them, neither of which had been in a car before, the dog on my lap peed ALL OVER my legs and it ran down to my butt. So, me, 4 grown men, 3 chiropractic tables, 6 backpacks, a jack fruit (spiky and about 3x the size of a pineapple) and 2 puppies rode in the volkswagon rabbit sized car. We then toured the town once we dropped off the dogs at the vet, drove most of the way back to the town we are staying in and stopped at this restaurant/river bathing place. We checked it out quickly and headed back to the hotel.

Dan and I just finished our notes, ate pop tarts :-) and are heading swimming and to bed early...no more 5-6 hours of sleep!

We will write again tommorrow!
