Today is Tuesday the 14th

We went into Manukua today to walk the mall and find a coffee shop to hook up to a wireless connection. Ha ha ha ha, yeah right. Nobody knew what we were talking about when we asked where a hot spot was. Ends up that there are special shops for printing and copying that have Internet, but you have to pay by the hour. We splurged just to check our e-mail and write our bank. We weren’t able to write much because Dale and I shared the hour. I think I had 83 messages or so. Dale says that his school will allow me to have free access to the Internet once a week. I think he starts in two weeks. If not than we will have to pay to get it to our flat. It’s not cheap here though, calling isn‘t either. It costs us 50 cents a minute to call home and to cell phones anywhere. We are planning on getting a phone card, which is the best way to go when calling long distance. You’d think that this place is on the other side of the world or something. We were definitely spoiled in America. We miss everyone already, but we are doing very well.
I’m already tired of the food, except for the fruits and vegetables, I can never tire of those. The rest of the food taste very Indian and I’m getting sick of curry smells. The noodles, pasta sauce, butter, eggs, beef, chicken, and bread all have a different taste to them. I think I’m extra sensitive to it since I’m pregnant.
I know I’m going to love to have a baby, but I wish I wasn’t pregnant at this time. I get so tired so easily and there is so much to explore. Dale and I went for a walk to several parks and I was about to throw up/pass out during the whole walk. I felt terrible, but I wanted to go out and see things. Today Dale went on a walk without me because I was dizzy and sick. It’s just to bad I have to be sick.
I’m loving the laundry chore here. I wash during the night and by morning hand it all out to dry, by afternoon I take it down and put it away. It’s a great system! I think Lorri likes it too, she plays in the grass while I hang it and take it down.
Lorri is cutting two teeth on the top left of her mouth. It’s interesting because I thought the two front came in first then the side ones. I guess the side one is coming up with the first front tooth. She loves to teeth on the carrots here. They are huge and she just chews on it forever. The family next door brought her a bag of little toys last night. Today she had fun figuring them all out.
