day 1
Tue 18th October - 6.22pm by Patrick Cosgrave
The journey was exhausting, at time of writing I haven't slept since Monday. The school was faw smaller than I had expected, I'd imagined that it would have large open grounds surrounding it, instead it's total size was only a little more than the area of St Andrews Basketball courts. The children were also a surprise: shy, at first, though they took a shine to little Alfie who quickly merged into a group of boys and didn't emerge for a while. The water here tastes funny.

It is interesting that you mention the size of the school as I suppose we don't really mention it at St Andrews very often :(
It would be lovely if we could lend them the AstroTurf for a few hours everyday!!
Have a great day tomorrow Patrick :) x

It's a shame that none of you got any sleep on the plane (even tho it was your night time) It was so windy, just as you were due to fly, some flights from Ireland were canceled, I was worried you'd be having a very bumpy flight! Good that there's been some rain, that'll green things up, also it will make life for the mosquitos easier, so be warned & get plenty of repelent on! I hope you get a good sleep tonight. Have e great day tomorrow.
luv & hugs, Mum XX & Graham
