June and July Fun

We finished school for this semester on June 20th. That evening we boarded a train to our capital city to eat and shop. It was a lot of fun. Getting home with all the stuff we bought for the baby was a different story though, essentially we almost missed our train home.





Right now we are relaxing and getting the house prepared for a baby. L just entered into her second trimester, but she is not really showing yet. Her clothes are getting pretty tight though. All the locals stare at us anyways, but she is especially self conscious now thinking they believe she is becoming just another fat foreigner.



We had a 4th of July party at our place, and two other Americans attended (a good turnout considering there are only 2 other Americans here anyways). We had all the great food necessary for a 4th of July party, but we really wish we also had a pool. It has been really hot lately.



Recently we found a wonderful thing at the local supermarket - Dryers Ice Cream! All that was available before was Nestles (which is truly awful), and Nestles is only slightly better than the local stuff. Anyways, for $10 USD we get a little less than 2 pints of ice cream, so we have to really ration it.



In early December we will be heading to Thailand for L to spend the remainder of her pregnancy there and will deliver sometime around January 10th. L's mom will be coming to stay will us soon after Christmas, but if anyone wants to come visit us before she comes, we will gladly offer you our sofa!
