To the 2nd grade from Helen 1)Yes I like the food here my favorite is fried chicken with steamed rice. (I've tried sesame spring rolls - great! pho - good. Squid - not so good. Rambutan (Hairy Cherries) - so so.
2) No mosquito nets. (But lots of bugs!!)
3)Yes the beds are comfortable! (thank goodness)
4) I am having a GREAT time! Are you??? Sorry i could not right back sooner! Stay in touch. Helen
We are really enjoying reading your blog. Your photos are truly amazing. We loved the photo of Will walking out of the school with the other boys and the soccer ball, the look on his face, the anticipation, and Helen with her new girlfriends, I'll bet they loved her. What an incredible opportunity you have given these children! We're so impressed with all your family has done. Can't wait to see and hear more. Stay safe, stay healthy! The Ulibarri's

I especially enjoy how you all answer questions about what you see and what makes an impression on you. Will, I hope you are keeping a journal - it will be a keepsake you will treasure always!

I am glad to hear the school is doing so well. It is very intersting to read about the differences between this trip and the first one two years ago.
Continue to have a good time.

Wow! Such a different lifestyle. How cool to see the school. I can't imagine your journey to school though! The kids all look so happy to see you.
Try to stay cool. We are trying to stay warm here because it is snowing right now! Keep the pictures coming. It is so interesting to see this different culture.
Have fun and good luck Carly.

Hello to Andy
Hi guys Well it was a prawn with the head still on. And no -- I didn't eat it. We played soccer today with some kids at the school - which was a lot of fun - and they were good. I've seen a lot of kids swimming in the river to too. (It's so hot here).
hello Hi gang,
All is well her. I will catergorize my entry under "same". It is rainy and about 50 today (Thursday). We had a litttle sunshine yesterday. I can't appreciate 90 and sweaty.
Loved the entry. Fred those airline slippers aren't the most masculine thing I've seen on you but they are very flattering just the same. Zake branch out and eat something gross in Griffin's honor.
We enjoy continuing to hear about your adventure and miss you.
