Sorry it has taken me so long to write a blog!! This past week has been awesome though. quite busy!

I will start with Monday last week, I had head office in the morning which began with its usual unorganized fashion.. Gina was having a bit of a rough time though.. to make a long story short, we found out later that day that she had malaria!!!! that just adds to our band of sicknesses that the volunteers have had in east africa this past month haha. dont be scared by that though.. malaria here is like the flu at home.. people use it as an excuse to skip a day of work lol.. so she took some meds and was feeling fine by thursday thankfully!!

Next on Monday, i had my class at the shule. It went well, we played some games as usual, and then with about 5 min left, it just began to pourrrr!!! it was crazy, and our assumption was right about rain on a tin roof… it is impossible to teach!! so we had to cancel girls club, again, and then head home in the rain.. thankfully it was just a short blast so it didnt pour the whole way home.

I got my skirt on the way home, and it turned out ok.. they put an elastic in the waist band instead of a zipper (darn communication barriers) so i got that fixed later and its good to go..later that evening we had swahili lessons at Jess’s..that pretty much got canned and turned into planning for Zanzibar which is where we went this weekend to visit the other volunteers.. we made grilled cheese and soup which was DELICIOUS! then the ride home was interesting.. the cab driver got a flat tire, so he just pops the trunk, pulls out a spare and a jack, pumps the car up while it is dark out and with us sitting in it, changes the tire and then hops back in to drive us home haha.. it was a little scary with people walking right by our open window, but everything was fine.
