Yesterday was an interview day. First all morning me and two of the girls went to watch palm sugar being made. It tastes like a mix between pralines and sugar cubes. It has a really low glycemic index and so many more vitamins and minerals than regular cane sugar. We spent about an hour and a half with the family interviewing and talking to them so we got them to take a family picture in front of their house before we left.
Yesterday afternoon we tuk tuked around to two different hospitals to interview doctors for our stories. We're all writing different stories but you have to go with a partner, which is why we did palm sugar and doctors in one day.
Then today we planned a trip to a waterfall to get out of our complex and take a break from writing. We drove an hour and a half on a super bumpy road to get to the stream. We parked at the top of it so at first it just looked like a little, slow moving river but then we got to hike down to the bottom where it was a huge waterfall.
So naturally we ran and jumped and splashed like little kids until we were exhausted. The water was actually cool though which is incredible because our pool and all the lakes we've seen have been like hot tubs. This added to our happiness to be in the water.
For lunch we ordered 3 chickens and they gave us the WHOLE chicken. It was just too reminiscent of A Christmas Story. We got the head and eyes and claws and everything. But we still picked it to the bone.
Here's me and Elizabeth at the waterfall. Just remember, a true sorostitute never turns her back on the skinny arm.
