As the heat picks up each day, it's a good thing that the marathon is this weekend. It is getting too hot to run and very uncomfortable to anything after 8 am.. But the evenings are still nice. We have just found out that Michelle will be teaching a class in Kasane in 2 weeks..therefore, we will be heading up north to Chobe one more time, with the hopes of seeing Victoria Falls, lions, wild dogs and leopards before we come back to the U.S.
Headed back out to the orphanage yesterday, and I have to admit, it was tough.. The kids seem very happy, but I just can't seem to shake feelings of sadness for the kids.. Everytime i go there, they are all huddled around each other in the middle of a sandy field, staying cool under a tree. Every day.They have lost their families and seems to really rely on each other. THey look after one another, are respectful to each other and genuinely care for each other..
I think having 5 healthy little ones whose major concern is whether or not Dad cleaned the pool makes me feel very sad.. these children have nothing, and some are sick. I know the pictures they take is something they really look forward to , but what are they going to do when this is over? i just hope they have some sense of normalcy in their life..
ok, i think that's it... Nothing else to say... I'll try to be funny tomorrow..Sorry blog post was such a downer.
