   "Sometime in the middle of the night a huge dog was barking "woof woof" and every other dog in the area started barking too. I could hear everyone else in their tents whispering about it. It was all over after that  for me, I couldn't sleep." Around 6am everyone got up, no one slept well. We sat around the dying campfire waiting for breakfast. I dined on fruit and eggs that were delicious!
   In the town of Karen I exchanged money at the bank and we looked around at the different stores. There were lots of people trying to sell us things.

Some "tidbits" of information that I wrote about;
  • Today is Rebecca's birthday, we sang for her and the staff made her a birthday cake
  • There are 4 dogs on this compound, 1 male and 3 females named "The Supremes"
  • I signed a form with the phrase "in the event of my death" written in it
  • I was frightened of having to go pee in the middle of the night 
10 years ago today I was adjusting to a lifestyle so different from my own.
