Happy Halloween – the little green bug has come out to play

Lying in bed in the dark typing, trying to be semi productive in my gastro plagued state.  At the moment it’s not too bad but this morning…ay  ay  ay  I haven’t had cramps like that for a while. It’s times like these that you wish you were at home in the comfort of your own bathroom. It helps though that there is another volunteer in a similar state, actually she’s had it a lot worse than me but she was kind enough to play nurse for me this morning fetching me some hydralyte. I’m super excited that my friend Rachel from Australia is coming to visit in a few weeks’ time and even more excited that she is bringing an extra stock of hydralyte. Being the day after Halloween today it is a public holiday here. The original plan for today was to go to the cemetery which apparently is a popular destination for the locals on the 1st November.  One of the other volunteers overheard the kids at school yesterday talking about what they were going to sell at the cemetery today. Apparently some of the kids bring buckets of water to sell to people putting flowers on the grave stones of their deceased family or friends.
