So I am enjoying it here in Africa. Today's highlights
1) I did my own hand washed laundry!-- I think I used too much soap though and not sure I rinsed it out correctly. Also my underwear is on display for everyone to see. Kind of awkward. Luckily no granny pannies
2) We went into the market of Thies and I bought tea and sugar in french...or bad french. I didn't get ripped off though which was good
3) I went for a 30 minute run in the stadium near our training center and was sort of like the hot bed of attention. I guess since I'm white and I probably run awkwardly. I stopped running at one point because I am a bit out of shape and I was gently verbally told to "courrir" and I responded something nonsensical because I was tired and because I was out of breath but mostly because it caught me on guard. I perfected my response though when two older men asked what I was doing and I said I was tired and wanted to walk. So props to me.
I am tired and bugs are out. You know don't want to get malaria. Also something is bothering my stomach which means another trip to the toilet. Bye for now.
I love the updates on your bowel movements....yummmmmm! Glad to hear you're enjoying yourself...can't wait to hear about your move in with the host family tomorrow! Keep avoiding that malaria, ok, thanks!-Brittany
