Thursday evening/morning

Here it is 6:30 PM and it is 9:30 AM there. But let me tell you all the things I have already done today. I have shopped till I think I am ready to drop. Oh, yes, I was ready to drop before I went shopping. I can't wait for all of you to see the things I have bought for you. We went walking, yes I said walking, all over town. Now, imagine a town the size of OKC and I am walking from the state capital to the Ford Center. That is just one half of the amount of walking I have done just today. We walked all over. Everyone in this town walks or rides taxis. Adela lives on the 4th floor, so I have had to climb up and down those many times every day. I am SICK of stairs. I have figured out we are a spoiled country in that we are used to riding or taking elevators everywhere. There are no entrances or accommadations for handicapped people. In fact,we have seen only 1 person in a wheelchair. Adela says that handicapped people just don't get out of the house, ever. I can't imagine being in my house all the time just because they don't want to help me. You have to step over door entrance. Every where you have to walk up flights and flights of stairs. I said I am ready to come home to my comfortable life style. If I have learned one thing for sure it is that we are a blessed country that we have so many advantages and rights. We are going to some big concert at a big building in town. It is only held once in this town every few months and it is very, very hard to get tickets. Their principal got front row tickets for us. We are so honored. Tomorrow we go to the school to take part in a fun day. The children are going to be doing different games and things. We are to present about our school and state tomorrow morning , so I will be talking about you while you are asleep. We leave on the midnight train to Bucharest Friday night, your Thursday night. We will be in Buchares for one full day and part of another. We will then fly to London and spend two nights and one day there. It seems like we just got here and are already having to leave, but I am ready to come home. I miss alll you guys. By the way, who won American Idol? I can not watch tv and I want to know who won. I have not even seen a tv since I have been here. It is time for us to go to the concert, so I will go for now and write more later when we get back. Keep blogging.. Thanks for the blog Karessa, Braden, Brittany, Bailee, and the rest of you who are reading this. It means a great deal to hear from you. When I read you blogs I see you and your smiling faces. I LOVE and MISS all of you.
