Rachael speaks again:

I can't even begin to tell you what my favorite thing is. Everything is so new and wonderful and amazing! we just went on a trip to the other side of the island and stayed for a couple days in a little resort called Jungle Oasis. We stayed in a little woven hut, when you got inside it looked like you were staying in the seven dwarfs' hut - there were ten little beds in there. We got to eat eggs for breakfast for the first time since we left and that could possibly be my favorite thing. My definite not favorite thing would have to be the Volcano.

I don't think they quite understand that a chicken has to lay the eggs first. (My brother says, "First I gotta catch the chicken, then I gotta SQWEEEZE it till an egg pops out!")

Monday is when three girls are on food detail. Monday can sometimes be an adventure. (Blind-mans kamala will never be forgotten. Especially since the kamala was actually a giant yam.) This happens to also be market day, so...
