Goodbye Dangolla

Tomorrow morning we leave for the Northern tour, and as excited as I am to explore, I am truly sad to leave home. I have grown so close with my family and I will really miss them. It seems just as we are getting adjusted to the home stay, we are being taken away.

Yesterday and today we visited orphanages in the area and got to play with the children. They LOVED my camera and spent most of the time playing photographer and taking photos of one another and, unfortunately, sometimes me. I have not uploaded them onto the flash drive just yet, so I can't post them until later, but they are DARLING!

I am in Kandy right now, shopping for a baseball cap. It is really hard to shop here because they will not leave you alone to look around. It gets to the point where they are shoving things in your face and telling you prices while the man next to you tells you how pretty you are. The prices are twice as much for white skinned people and there is no hiding that fact from them. I wish there were more shops here with fixed prices, but they are few and far between. Although I love exploring the city, shopping is a pain, when it really shouldn't be. If they would just leave me alone a bit more, I would spend just as much or more, but instead I nearly run from the shops, feeling frustrated and still missing items I need!

Aacci should be coming home from the hospital today. Taatti said she looks better, but if she is at home she will not have dialysis, which means she will not make it for long.

Alyce - got 3 letters so far. Thanks for the support love.


Oh, and does anyone have Robinhood Men in Tights and wouldn't mind sending it to me?? I would keep it safe and bring it back with me in December. I know this is an odd request, but malli and I want to watch it and we can't find it here. I know it will cost money to ship, but I promise I will take care of the dvd and if it gets lost I will replace it! Hey - and if you want to send other movies that is cool too. haha.
