day 1



Flower outside of my window =]



This is the room I stayed in at the hotel/inn

I woke up (and when I say woke up – I mean I was up since 4:30 am and the dawn finally broke) this morning to the sound of hundreds, even thousands of birds. You would have enjoyed it mom. The weather outside the house is wonderful. It is cool like water and feels good on my skin. It is warm in the rooms – muggy if you will. And the flowers, there are so many of them, of all different kinds. The house is very nice – it feels way nicer than our homes in the states. Everything is made out of sturdy, beautiful materials. Our homes feel so fake, with hollow doors and linoleum flooring. But here – everything is thick solid wood, cool smooth tile, and rod iron. It feels nice. It feels peaceful. However, I am anxious for breakfast, and for Marayah to get here.
