First Day at Bangla Hope

Our days and nights are still a little messed up. We are tired early and wake up early. That is what happened this morning. We also went on a walk, we were going to walk with the Waids but they left without us and so we went on our own and ended up doing a lot shorter walk than it would have been with them. When they got back Nurse Kerri took out my stitches. I was so excited to be able to fully wash my hair I took a shower as soon as possible! The plan was to go into town today and so when we were finished eating we went back up to our room and got ready to go. Before we left we had to exchange money, each of us exchanged $50 hoping it would be enough, in return we got 3600 takas, and it turned out to be plenty! Our first shopping trip was interesting. We took the van, all seven of us crowded in, actually there was the seven Americans and two Bangla ladies, so there were actually about ten of us crowded in the van. We then drove into Hili and our driver dropped us off. We then went in search of salwar kameez for us. We went to many shops and each found two nice church one’s. Lauren also found two everyday one’s but Chantel and I only found one each. We then dropped them off at the tailors and went back to Bangla Hope.
