So now we're in Clark which is a city also built by Americans; you can actually tell too because they have wider roads and use stop signs and stop lights...but it's rare if you ever see someone stop for a stop sign.
Molly and I are staying with John who is retired and from California. His daughter Allison is here visiting from California right now with her two adopted children from India.
In Clark our main purpose is to attend the huge Rotary convention and give a presentation and performance...that's tonight. Tomorrow there are more talks and things.
This morning though we had free so we went to our host mom's exercise class where we sweated out probably 48 pounds, and then we went to the dirty stinky market. It makes me quite concerned for food poisening!!
We then went to an orphanage...humbling experience. All the kids were so dirty and ragged. I felt to spoiled and greedy. At the market earlier we had gotten some cheap toys to hand out to the children and all the kids were so thankful and didn't ask for a different color or something else...just very thankful. Also the kids kept asking us for blessings....like as if we were some saint to them. Actually Allison brought two huge boxes from the states full of pencils and paper, chalk, clothes, and other goodies.
It was cool.
