Today was a rest day. Breakfast was very good. It was a large buffet - all you can eat. We had pancakes, bacon, fried potatoes, fried rice, pasta, french toast, and rolls. Roger even had meatloaf! It tasted so good! We met more of the families in our group. They are really nice! Roger and I walked to the local shopping mall and looked through a lot of stores. Then before we came back to the room we stopped at Baskin Robbins for ice cream! Yum!!!! After we returned to our room there was a knock at our door. We opened it and one of the other moms in our group was standing there in tears asking me to come and see if I thought her daughter needed stitches! (her husband and four year old are here too). She said that I had told her I taught 1st grade and that she was sure that I had seen this kind of thing before. I went to her room and her daughter was laughing and running around the room. I looked at her lip. It was a good tear, but it was not bleeding and in a spot that would be really tough to stitch. I told them that I was not a doctor and the decision was up to them, but I would put ice on it and give her some Tylenol for pain. The little girl said, "see I don't need stitches because a teacher said so!" Well I guess that I did my good deed for the day!
It is almost 4 o'clock in the afternoon here! I will try to download some pictures of our hotel.
Tomorrow is a full day of touring. Let's hope we get a good night's sleep. I think a bunch of us are going swimming later!
Love, Ranata and Roger
2 days and a few hours till gotcha day!
