Hello hello hi!
Today I am back from the 2 weeks in the village and woah, did a lot of crazy things happen - split up into a group of 7 - me, Sam, Anna, Jesse, Grace, Regina, Bri, and Aleah. Then began the hospital visits, twi speaking, carrying 16 ft palm branches on my head through the deep bush over a log that crossed a river, got malaria?, and thus took 30 pills a day, listened to goats give birth, made a basket with Richard (many stories to come), played with so many kids, learned how to make palm wine and apateche (sp?), got locked out of my house many times and had to sleep at sams, had children stick their heads in my window at anytime of the day or night just to chat, watched some of the coolest thunderstorms I have ever seen, rarely had electricity and or toilet paper, (used the computer tests of the students in the village), went to the market made friends with old women, held small small babies, went to school, ate yummy food, lived on a mat an inch thick in a room bigger than mine at home but 100% empty, began my mini independent study project, smiled all day everyday all the time SO MANY THINGS and of course the internet is about to run out because I am bad at time management so soon I will explain this mess of a list.
SORRY!
love
Hello dear sister! THis is my first time on your blog! I just got the link from emily and as I read about the adventures I could hear your voice loud and clear coming through the page and I can see you right now surround by so much love and laughter. Your last home stay sounds incredible- the babies, the people, the beauty of being outside, the perfection of simplicity. Even a midst the basket weaver dude and malaria- it sounds amazing. And the maggots you were telling me about last night on the phone.. gross.
