So, this week turned out to be pretty non-eventful. It is the start of the rainy season here. It's not too bad- it usually just rains for an hour or two a day. We didn't do much this week because Laura and I kept looking for a good day to go back to Georgetown to play at the park with the kids. We didn't venture out Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday because the weather outside our windows looked threatening. Some days it really did rain and some days we had nothing but dark clouds. By Thursday, we were so sick of staying indoors that we decided to chance it. It turned out to be a great day to go to the park, with a nice little breeze to keep things cool. This week we met a little girl at the park. She was probably about 7 or 8 years old, and had a lot of fun following the kids around. We weren't sure she understood any English because she kept trying to pick up the kids (even the 4 year old) and we had to keep telling her to put them down. Towards the end, Evelyn was getting so upset that she started crying whenever the girl came near her.
Glenn mentioned that there was a good Indian restaurant nearby in Georgetown called Kashmir. We thought we'd be smart and Google map it before we left the apartment so we could easily find the place (Indian food is quickly becoming my new favorite cuisine on the island). After driving around Georgetown for at least 20 minutes (with very hungry kids in the car) we came to the realization that either this restaurant is impossible to find or Glenn made the whole thing up just to drive me crazy! We found a little "cafe" instead and were pleasently surprised to find sesame chicken on the menu (which just happens to be my favorite dish to order in Minnesota)! I've been looking for sesame chicken since we got here and hadn't had any luck. Glenn even asked some of his coworkers and they didn't know where to find any. Now our only problem is going to be seeing if we can ever find our way back to the "cafe" again!
On the way back to the apartment, I looked back in the car and saw a very cute sight. Evelyn (whose car seat is in the middle seat) was very sweetly holding hands with Nash (the 1 year old). They held hands for most of the ride back, and seemed very content just to sit there. Laura and I thought it was very cute, but Glenn wasn't so thrilled (surprise, surprise) when I told him about it. I think he's going to have a few questions for Nash the next time he sees him!
Tomorrow we are off to Thailand for the week. Glenn gets a few days off, so we're heading to Phuket, a tourist hot-spot on the beach. We're very excited for a few days of rest and relaxation on the beach. Although I'm loving the warm weather, I'm definitely missing the cool fall weather you are all experiencing now. What I wouldn't give to see some leaves changing color!
