Ponds and Bathing

Yes.....unfortunately that is their way of bathing.  Clean? No  Better than nothing? Yes
Jessica did have a fish jump over her head while she was bathing the other day.  They trekked 7 miles; app. 2 hours to a hospital where they were able to see babies born and people dying. It  is not any different from what you would experience at a hospital in the states.  The circle of life is truelly universal. 
The bugs are much worse this year.  So they are all hoping for no malaria. 
Jessica and Mike sponsor a child at a camp in Bangladesh and where able to visit that camp and actually met the child they sponsor.  They were able to give her a gift and they said it was a nice experience. 
Tomorrow they are to visit and "elephant" village.  A herd of elephants demolished five houses in the village.  They say this is quite common.  The stars there are amazing!!!  While walking through the woods they were able to turn off their flashlights and they saw thousands of fireflies.  They said it was beautiful.  They leave next Monday and return to DFW next Tuesday night around 11. I know this blog does not do all their experiences there justice.  But atleast we know that they are safe and having a great time. Until we hear from them again....have a blessed day!!
