Well- the electricity has been off and on- mostly off- yesterday and today. Oh. It is SO hot! It went off last night, and it gets so hot without a fan going that it wakes us up in the middle of the night.  We don't have AC-just ceiling fans, so it's never really cool, just bearable. ;)  Imagine 95 degree weather without a breeze- and there's no where else to go that's cool. Some days- especially when it's off a lot- it gets pretty annoying.  We met a family who just moved to Cox's Bazaar.  They felt like God told them to come here and so they just sold all of their stuff and moved here. We were told that they have nothing- no beds- no fans- nothing. They have a small boy.  I just can't imagine trying to live here without a fan!  I heard someone bought them one, I was really glad to hear that. And, if I start thinking it's unbearably hot in here, I just have to remember the hospital.  That was the hottest place I have ever been.
Yesterday we went and visited Suranjit's sister, Moonie.  On the way over there we walk past the hospital.  We saw the saddest thing!  A young woman with, what appeared to be, her husband were driving by in a rickshaw.  They both looked sickly, so thin and frail.  At first we thought she was sick and then we realized that she was holding her husband in the rickshaw so he wouldn't fall out.  His eyes were rolling back in his head and he was kind of falling over.  He literally looked like he was going to die.  It was one of the saddest things I have ever seen.
Speaking of which-  Dad has been really, really sick for a few days now.  I haven't seem him this sick in a long time.  We thought he was feeling a little better yesterday, but he says it's worse today. Sounds like whatever he has Suranjit has also.  It's gotta be really bad being sick in this heat. :-/
