Viola!

I have found it!

The Perfect meal. Spaghetti noodles, marinara sauce, garlic and oil, red onion, oregano, salt, pepper, chicken or roast beef. Stir fry in skillet and eat. Goes well with chocolate milk and chocolate cheesecake.

I have been very busy working hard and trying to keep from melting at the same time. It’s over 110 degrees, and summer is a month away. I have to use gloves to touch anything metal in the day time. I don’t know how people could live here without a/c. I got an ice chest for long trips, and fill it with water and soda. It’s great to have. The work is hard, but my buddies and I have a good time whenever we can.

Every few days I go to visit a small village north of a large city. I see the same few people every time I go there. They are very fun, but none of us know each other’s language. There is one person there that gives me and my friend a meal every time we se him. My buddy does not like the food, but is polite. I eat my food, plus his share of the bread. They give us each a plate or rice and sauce, a piece of chicken and two pieces of flatbread. The bread is very good, the rest is a nice change and taste of the local culture. I really enjoy the trips because I get to experience the country I’m in. It’s an amazing mix of the modern and third world. Major highway with donkey carts along the side, and smll country roads with Mercedes on them.
