The last week of our lives was spent out in the countryside with some wonderful people from Tennessee. We always love when our Tennessee friends visit! Especially when my brother, Reagan, is among them.
Living in the countryside is always an adventure. It is not for the faint of heart. There are fleas/bugs/unknown biting things in the covers (just ask a few of my family members). There are very dirty floors. There are no western toilets and your shower just flows into the toilet.....causing you to not be particularly thrilled to take a shower. The bathroom smells like the choir tour bus after 14 days of touring. The key to your room sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. There are loud noises from trucks, dogs, pigs, trucks, horns, trucks....ALL DAY AND NIGHT!
However, there is a very sweet lady who runs the "hotel" and has been there for all of the last 3 years that we have been there. She is kind to us and we have become friends with her. She always comments how amazing it has been to watch our language improve and has told us we are her first friends that are foreigners. We got to talk about many wonderful things with her this last week. She makes it all worth while.

Thanks for sharing this. It does make it worth it when you get to build that kind of relationships with the people you come in contact .
EXCELLENT-at least the VERY first part AND the last part!
