Hello! I am feeling a little rughaa (cold) coming on. This isn't surprising as just about everyone is sniffling, but I hope to feel better soon. Tomorrow I am going to visit a Home for the Destitute and Dying that Mother Teresa started. There is also a children's shelter there. It will be interesting to see it, but I hope not too depressing. The flood in Eastern Nepal has made the power shortage even worse. Now we go 16 hours a week without electricity.
I am starting to feel the culture shock this week. Now that I have a defined schedule it is becoming trying. My language skills still prevent any in depth conversation with people and I finished my book so I don't really have anything else to do. I don't like the smoke from the kitchen or the mosquitos so while dinner is cooking I get a little antsy. My niece cries a lot which gets irritating. She is 6 and with low blood sugar she turns monster.
Yesterday was fathers day. Since my dad is dead we honored my brother instead. My sisters came to visit and they were nice. I played with the kids and it was fun, but I had a bit of a sinus headache for some of the time and I wanted to take a nap. The kids kept busting in and waking me up. I slept really well last night though.
Overall things are going well though. Sunday we leave for the Chitwan which will be awesome. I hope I see a tiger! I will write more then.
Love, Hailey

Kevin loved the Chitwan. That is where he went to Tiger Tops. I'm very interested to hear all about it. I assume that you'll be traveling with your group...? Do/did you have to take malarone- those malaria pills? i've heard that they can make you feel pretty crummy. I look forward to hearing more soon. PS. I'm not sure if you've heard already but I did get our flights all set for your return trip and our stay in Thailand. Keep up the good work Hailey!

Hey there,
I am sorry that you are feeling homesick. Remember, one foot in front of the other is all you have to do. One day at a time, this too shall pass. I found that when you are sick, you are the most homesick too (of course), so cruddy and crummy makes sucky! Yeah! Hang in there. I hope you get better soon.
Hope you're all better now! For sinus headaches try to find sore spots in your toes and/or at the base of your toes, rub, rub, rub...
hey!!!
its almost 2 years passed, "kasto ramailo vacation" I think these days was your one of the best days..
best of luck for your future"""
