Another great day that began with Mike's "wonderful" singing and lots of fried eggs with toast. I am definitely getting tired of eggs and toast each day but I remind myself that the people living all around us don't even get that much each day. We finally moved to paint on the dormitory and dining hall. It was in the direct sunlight and therefore extremly hot so we took lots of breaks for water and tea. While working on the window sills Mike entranced us with a 15 minute long bad joke that's punch line left much to be desired. Afterwards we headed into town because Tuesday is market day. (also Saturday) We felt a bit like zoo attractions as we were paraded throught the market which was far busier than usual. Many of the vendors wanted us to take their photo with their wares. We were interested by the fact that most vendors were selling the same exact products. On the way back some people bought bracelets and sodas. Though we felt rather guilty that we had not bought more, the goods were very cheap and although $5 would mean little to us it could mean the world to someone else. Back at school we enjoyed more conversations and time with the 7th and 8th graders. We wished that the other kids could have been there as well since we only had 3 days left. We exchanged contact information in the hope that we could stay in touch. Through the sporadic power outages we ended our day with a hectic albeit fun game of cards.
