His head was shaved. His father, Mashala, our gardener, spent the whole day, every day, watering the rose bushes, because the minute he stopped they got dusty. Little Hosseins skin was the color of the dust and smelled like kerosene(煤油). One day, Big Hossein found him stealing Kool Pops from our refrigerator and hit him on the head with his flip-flops. Over and over. Harder and harder. Little Hossein started to cry, and so did I. After that I guess we were friends, except that I spied on him and he spied on me. He crept onto the terrace and looked through my bedroom window. I told him the picture of President Kennedy on my dresser was the Shah of Emrika. He stared through my window at that picture a lot. Or maybe he was looking at my piggy bank right next to it. Hed stand outside my window where my bike was parked. It was a three-speed from the States, but finally I let him borrow it. He rode it outside the gate to the village. He didnt let the village boys ride it, but he rode it round and round the square while the boys tried to push him off.

The hiking seemed to take forever, and I still cant understand how it could all have been up hill! How did I ever let my brother talk me into this? When we get home-if we ever get home- hes going to have to do something great to get back on my good side. Maybe he should sponsor a shopping spree at the mall!Tuesday:Things are looking up. The sun came out today, so we were able to leave the tents and dry out. We are camped at the edge of a small lake that I couldnt see before because of the rain and fog. The mountains are all around us, and the forest is absolutely beautiful. We spent most of the day dragging everything out of our backpacks or tents and putting it where the sun could dry it out. Later in the afternoon we tried to catch the fish for dinner, but the fish were smarter than we were. At night we built a fire and sang songs happilyWednesday: We hiked to the far side of the lake and climbed to the top of a small peak. From there we could see how high the other mountains were and how far the forest spread around us. On the way up we passed through a snowfield!Thursday: I caught my first fish!

I asked to cast it, and I caught a fish on my first try. Carol caught a few more. but they were just too pretty to eat for lunch, so we put them back in the stream.Friday: I cant believe we are going home already. It will be nice to get a hot shower, sleep in a real bed, and eat junk food, but the trip has been wonderful.
