Getting to Know Neighbors

We woke up a little later today at 5:30am I can see that we will slowly get in to a normal sleep schedule soon. We got our Kerosene tank filled up today. It cost $250 and should last us until summer, WOW! Electricity is not that cheap in Texas. The Kerosene runs our heater and the heater in the bath tub. Our bath is old style, but it is much cheaper to use kerosene to heat up our bath water than to use electricity for the Tap. It takes about 25 minutes to heat it up before you take a bath, not bad just a small lifestyle change.

We also got our propane tank filled up which runs our cooking stove. Electricity is used only for lights and appliances, while the water is free. Much cheaper utilities than America.

Later on that evening we were invited to Mr Ikeno's house for dinner and to meet his wife. We had home made ramen noodles and Mr Ikeno and myself drank Sochu, which is a watered down vodka. Mr Ikeno and his wife are probably in their late 50's early 60's.

Koby and Evan passed out on the couch after a early rise and hard playing throughout the day. We walked afterwards, a very short distance to our house.
