did i mention that i open my bedroom door with a knife, since there's no handle? it makes me feel badass, which is why i'm mentioning this.
today was our second swahili exam, and this afternoon lidya is teaching me to make mandazi, which is basically fried sweet dough. i might go into town tonight and go to a club with my host father and some friends, but right now i'd rather just hang out and read one of the books i brought. tomorrow we are having a big group lunch with all our host families, and then we are staying the night in a guest house. sunday morning we leave for the 9 hour bus ride to mombasa. i'm excited. staying in a small village off of nairobi for two weeks has been wearing me down a bit. think suburbs, but... really, really different.
i finally got to take pictures! but i have no idea how to get them onto the computers here, so we'll just wait a month or two until those get shared.
like i said before, i won't have internet for a long time (i think).
i hope you're all having a lovely autumn.
you know i have to ask-
ReplyDeletewhat are you reading?
also:
1. knife? so, so badass.
2. fried sweet dough? dang...
3. i can't wait to see your pictures.
4. yeah, i'm commenting on this at 9:34 pm on a friday night.
5. i miss you like hellaz.
i'm reading good ole 'perks of being a wallflower,' but only when i really need to escape current reality for a little bit. maybe i'll be reading more later. i tried reading "orlando" on the plane over here, but i couldnt get into it.. maybe because i was heading over to africa and couldn't concentrate?? i'll give it another go on safari. hope portland is wonderful -natalie
ReplyDeleteA knife. A bone knife? I wish I could say the same for my bedroom.
