Well week one is done and over with now.  The night before last we made smores or as I called them "chewies" because the marshmallows were a bit old and chewie even when we roasted them.  Last night we had grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup (it was one of the best meal we've had since we've been here and the comfort meal was much needed).  After dinner we had lemon and chocolate pie and it was so good to have that comfort food after a long week. So over the course of the last week I've been working on a list of thing that I never thought I would do and then I moved here.  Not that they're bad things but I just never thought I would do them.  So here are the things on my list:
  1. Eat stale expired cereal for breakfast because most of the dried canned products are expired here
  2. Throw away toilet paper instead of flushing
  3. Filter all my water before I use
  4. Ride with ten people in a car
  5. Make smores in Tatooine
  6. Learn another language and try to speak fluently
  7. Burn wood to keep warm at night
  8. Use gas to cook all meals
  9. Drink tea at almost every day
  10. Dry clothes inside my house because there are no dryers
I'm sure I'll have more to add to this list later on but for now that's it.  So today we went to meet some new people and it reminded me of when I went to hang with some friends from H2O-ville.  It was great to meet new people.  Hopefully we will go to the market later this week and get local clothes made and do some local grocery shopping.  Well that's all for now; more to come later.
