First attempt at running...

630 am wake up
humid but not too hot
full confidence in where we are going
awkward stares (they don't run here, it's a foreign concept)
15 minutes in and we're already lost in the middle of a giant ricefield (a wrong turn was taken somewhere)
thankful that "lassy" tagged along and scared off the local dogs
un-thankful that lassy also enjoyed sneak attacking from behind and pushing us into the ricefields
not worried about eventually finding our way back but worried about not getting back in time to wake up the students for breakfast
finally find the road
5 minute sprint to our new home
purple in the face and soaking wet
720am swim in the pool
success

  1. Amanda Jane,

    Running in the rice paddies????? John tells me they have cobras in them......Could you find a safer trail/track so we can sleep better!

    Your expedition and experience of a life time sound endless! Can't imagine what's ahead for you!
