Stopping Traffic.......ME!!!

Lots to talk about - only a little time, as there is a class due to start any minute!!

Day 5 Cont....
So, where was I.......yes I had been catching babies.

I decided to go for a run in the early evening just before sunset and it was the most memorable run ever! I ran around the compound and as I have mentioned before, you get a lot of attention, so much so, I (yes - little old me) was stopping traffic quite literally! I ended up doing a circuit twice.
On the first, I got waves, giggles, points and stares, etc. (Probably at my 'elephant-style' running and beetroot red face)!!
On the second circuit, I was re-enacting the Pied Piper, a lady joined me, then children followed as I ran back laughing so much!! That surely doesn't happen in the UK, not to me anyway!!

Back at the house, the American couple have been lovely. We played cards on Friday night (wahoo - I tell you the social highlight so far!!). Becky's grandma was Amish, so we played a card game called 'Dutch Blitz' which is a little bit like a game we used to play in the Rapp family house, 'Racing Demon'. Also played Golf, which is a bit like 'Splodge'.
