Enid Oklahoma

Well, this is the second computer that refuses to recognize my camera, so, yet again I cannot share the awesome pictures I have.

We arrived in Enid on Thursday evening and are leaving tomorrow, Monday, morning. We had our show day on Friday, and had a better turn out than we expected. The theater we performed is one of the many that the fake John Wilkes Booth's body was displayed in. It is purportedly haunted, but I didn't see anything suspicious.

Tonight I experienced Black Walnut ice cream for the first time and a Cherry Lime-aid, both of which were fabulous.

Yesterday I finally got to learn one of my favorite dances, an African one called Gumboot! It was soooo much fun. It's really simple, but really cool. I think I'll be performing it in Mexico.

We finally know that our last city before Thailand will be Plano, Texas. I'm so excited to experience Texas...

The woman I'm staying with, Vicki, has a masters in handwriting analysis and this morning she gave me a crash course in how to interpret people's handwriting. She also talked about how writing certain ways can be therapeutic for the subconscious, and you can actually alter certain habitual thoughts and feelings through practicing your handwriting. Soooo cool! I'm staying with Kelsey from California and Gift from Thailand. I stayed with Kelsey in my last host family as well, but I'm really glad I've had her again as my roommate because the last city was a very short stay. She's talking to her family through iChat, which I still find perplexing and weird, and I have no idea how it works, but it's so cool.

Happy St. Patrick's day everybody!
