my little taste of home

I have found my escape, when i need one. If I walk out of our gate and go oh about 2blocks to the left there is a little stand type thing. They sell these little sandwiches (which we do not know yet if they are safe to eat or not), but they also sell french fries. They call them chips here which is easy to remember. So for about 1 dollar I can get one can of Pepsi and enough french fries for all of us!!!!! I was so excited when we found this little place so close. The french fries are so good even better then McDonalds! The men in the shop speak no English so it was interesting buying them the first time, but fun. And now they will know us so it should be easier to get them. Kirk and I and the girls went walking a lot today and are beginning to find out way around and see what all we have around the house. We went to the "fruit stand" today and got lots of good fruit and veggies, which I came straight home and soaked in clorox water. The man selling the fruit was very nice and gave each girl a carrot, he had washed off with his bottle of water. We told the girls to take it and say thank you (one of the words they know in arabic) but do not eat. Of course the big girls listened but before we could get it Annie Lynne took a big bite. Carrots or one of the worse things you can eat without cleaning because they grow in the dirt, plus I am sure the water he used to wash it was not filtered. So we will see how strong her tummy is very soon!!!
