So I'm still working out the kinks on this whole blog thing and I may have deleted the previous one... oops. Anyway it likely won't happen again... maybe. I spent the last week in Jenny's village. She is doing some amazing things in her small village community, you can check out her blog for an IN DEPTH look at that. Anyway, Village life in crowded. People come to Jenny's house all day. We went for a run and 60 or so school kids followed us running down this huge hill. It was quite the entourage. The food here is actually quite good. I like Ugali, Katchumbali (sp?) and I'm not sick of rice just yet. The village people (yes that's what I said) are quite amazing. Everyone is so pleased to talk, and welcoming. I feel right at home here as everything runs on Knight time- we'll get there. It's nice that when you try to speak any kiswahili at all you are encouraged. Travel in this country is an adventure too. You are crammed into these glorified minivans that carry like 35 or more people. Every vehicle is loaded with people. I will not know exactly where I will be living in Mafinga until at least the 20th when I visit next, but my school is very "safi" (or clean- fancy) compared to most secondary schools I've heard. There is a computer lab with internet, and I live on the school compound so I should have regular access to the net (fingers crossed). I will be on the internet a lot in the next little bit, so more to come soon...
