This (as usual) was a full weekend. Friday afternoon, we left early to go to the Friday Craft Market, a craft market located on the railroad tracks that is generally regarded to have the best prices around and takes place only on, you guessed it, Fridays. My teammates who are leaving in 2.5 weeks did a lot of their end-of-term gift shopping.
Saturday, all the interns were invited for breakfast at "grandma's" (the mother-in-law of a former staff member, who still lives here and volunteers for EMI). Then I headed out with Rachel & Kait to visit and volunteer at a "Babies' Home" (an orphanage for babies and toddlers). It was really neat to sit down and have a bunch of kids come over and sit on your lap and know that you could at least provide the touch, smile, and love that they needed. I'd definitely like to go back again.
Sunday, we had a project volunteer in town for the day, so we took her to church and then went craft shopping all around town. I've had fun shopping "slowly by slowly" with visitors, since I know I have a long time left to buy things here before I leave. I finally bought some fabric ($9 for 6 yards) to get a skirt made by a seamstress down the street ($3).
Monday night, we spur-of-the-moment all went out for Indian food. It was so good! I love Indian food, and it's the first time I've had a chance to get it here. Yummm.
