This is part two of my catch up entry. See my last post (part 1) for a gallery of pics!

On the rest of the days we weren’t so lucky having cloudy and cold weather but we still managed to make it into town and shop some. We did find a couple chicken restaurants. Let me tell you, it is a challenge ordering food here but it is kind of fun at the same time. The chicken sandwiches tasted good but my very first one was uncooked and had a load of mayo. I couldn’t finish it. The other chicken restruant we found was been so at least we have a little bit of ‘western’ to escape to. We also found this awesome street vendor that cooks these little flatbreads and they are super cheap to. She is going to get a lot of our business.
On Saturday we finally bought an iron and had our toilet fixed and a bunch of light bulbs. We were also grateful to get a water cooler with loads of purified water.
Sunday was an interesting experience. We were woken up by a bajillion really loud fireworks going off at 7:30 in the morning. We then found that they did a rolling blackout in our area so our apartment got kind of chilly. Since the cafeteria is finally open we got breakfast and headed back to our apartment for church. Since the power was out we had to have someone Skype our phone so the connection for church was really bad and we couldn’t understand anything. But we did take the sacrament so it wasn’t all bad. We definitely have next Sunday to look forward too.
So that brings us to today, Monday, February 21, 2011. Kids and teacher have all come back to our school and there is finally some life to our school. Unfortunately we have not received our teaching schedule. So we are just in limbo, twiddling our thumbs and the like. I have managed to get caught up on my blog with exhaustive detail and Jordan has beaten a bunch of levels on our favorite RollerCoaster Tycoon. We have also jumped on the Hogwarts Express and we will be watching year 5 tonight; a first time experience for Jordan.
Love you all! I will be updating more about the school and our apartment soon. Hang tight!
