so when you go anywhere it is suggested to not bring new shoes; you should have shoes that have been broken in to fit your feet so that you dont have to worry about blisters or the shoe not fitting you properly... it's always wise to have a shoe you know and know what to expect... it is after all what you are relying on to keep you moving, yeah? well i got a pair of Toms shoes on the Thursday (i left on a Friday)... they tell you this advice with good reason. i wore my shoes on the trip over here and started to get a slight blister by the time we finally arrived; it was more of an annoyance and didn't really hurt. then yesterday we climbed a very steep mountain and although i was thankful for my Toms, the blister grew a little more. now before you say i told you so, the blister doesnt really hurt it just looks red and is peeling my skin a bit... i learned my lesson.
we have been having a blast meeting a ton of new people, learning the language (some better than others) and bringing water filters to a lot of people. Kimberly has picked up the language better than any of us, she can practically have a conversation already and i'm still stuck on hello and what is your name... i just do not have a mind for language like i wish i did, i will get it, but very lahey-lahey (slowly slowly).
another tip- dont let your sports bra show from the top of your shirt... i guess its inappropriate... i learned that about a week in when a group of teenage girls quickly lucked it back into my shirt among lots of laughs and giggles... who would have guessed i would be the immodest one here!
