11 hours!!

I can hardly believe I slept 11 hours last night!! I guess I had almost 2 nights of sleep to catch up. Went to the orphanage, but the lady who worked with the boys didn’t know me and wouldn’t let me in until I spoke with administration tomorrow. Since it was the weekend they are closed today. Boooo… At least I was able to see and say Hi to some of the kids through the little opening in the door. Saw several new boys I didn’t recognize. My friend came with me to look at a couple rentals. One was cute and super cheap; a partially furnished room with a shared bathroom, but no cooking allowed. There are tons of room for rent just like that, but if I am going to be here for a few years, I really want to be able to cook. Eating out and making sandwiches will get costly and boring after awhile. I think I will hold out for a real apartment.
After lunch I ran into my friend, the taxi driver, and he offered to drive me around to look for more rentals. I wrote down a bunch of new numbers to call. Tonight I am crashed out in my hotel watching the US channel. My brain is too tired to do anything else. The heat, the language, all the walking around wore me out!
