First full day…
Woke up about 8 which here is considered sleeping in, so that was tough cuz everyone knows I love my sleep. So right off the bat I have to adjust. I do have bad jet lag so yesterday and today I have slept from noon to 5. I am staying with a family for my first few nights. Kevin and Helen Ward, they have two children, a daughter who is 13 and away at school, and there son Joshua who is 11. Their family lives on the “farm” which is an orphanage homestead about 30 min from the city. There are about 40 kids that live here. Surprisingly they have electricity and internet, which I didn’t even know what to expect. I am not sure about the room I will be moving into after these few days but hopefully its not too bad. For the most part I have just been hanging out with Joshua and meeting a few people. Right now in Swaziland they are having two holidays. Swaziland is a total Monarch and these two holidays are in honor of the king. So with the holidays everything is quiet around the farm. Everyone here speaks English, they do have a little different pronunciation which is sometimes hard to follow. I have learned that crap is considered a curse word so I will have to watch what I say. Tomorrow is church so I will probably be meeting a lot more people and will meet most of the kids too. Well ill try and write soon. These may be delayed a few days but I will try and write most days but wont be able to put them online that often.

Quick flickr idea. When you go to resize the files make sure you save them as copy or back up. Cause you don't want to lose the original files. If you don't know how to resize open photoshop, open the file, go to image at the top, in the drop down window go to image size, in that window you can change the height and width. Change it by percentages. Then hit save as. And it will save it as another file. Hope that helps.
