Right now, I (Michael) am sitting at a McDonalds making use of their free WiFi and enjoying an iced latte.
We have been in the region for about a week now and Roberta and Payton have yet to adjust to the time change, although it is slowly getting better. For several days now, Roberta and Payton would go to sleep around 5-6 pm and wake up around midnight to eat. They would then mess around for several hours and then go back to sleep for several more hours.
We will provide more updates of our trip (and yes, more pictures of Payton since we understand that is the main attraction of the blog) and we have several big news to share (go on, speculate). In short, visiting seminaries and speaking with theological educators have been helpful for me in understanding the needs in this region. Also, we have enjoyed spending time with Kuen & Karen and now Toe, Mag, and Florence. They have been very kind and hospitable.
With regard to general lifestyle, it is hot and very humid here and we are not accustomed to doing so much walking. It's interesting that I can play basketball for 3 hours straight and yet feel tired and winded walking around for 20 minutes. The food is great (I've had fresh sugar cane juice at least once a day since we've been here) and reasonably priced.
that's great that you are able to connect with so many people all at once!
