The rainy season is officially over! It hasn’t rained in 3 days. The weather has been absolutely perfect, warm and sunny with a slight breeze to cool you off when hiking up the hill. I forgot to add that while swimming, I lost my toe ring again. This time it was not found, but luckily I just received a new one in my birthday box from mom, so no naked toe for me! I have a cold that I think I picked up from one of the people at the party. Not sleeping probably had something to do with it also. Oh, and I burned my leg on the hot water pipe in the shower at the party also. I forgot how to use hot water and when I leaned forward it caught my leg and burned me, not a bad burn, just a little red line across my thigh.
Our girl who cleans the house is helping us to plant carrots, so she came today and dug up the garden and found us some potatoes! I made curry fries tonight for dinner with them and they were delicious!
We had a visit from PC on Tuesday and the driver who is the one that drove me here to drop me off brought me chocolate from Kigali! We became friends very quickly when we met (he’s a new driver, hired on right before we all left to site, so I didn’t get to know him during training at all) and I think he is the coolest person I have met so far. One of the first things he said to me was “don’t let them give you any shit” and that totally threw me for a loop! How did he learn that phrase! He lived in Kenya and South Africa for a few years, so he has had a bit of western influence and it is hilarious. Wish I could see more of him, but he lives and works in the capital and I am just too far.
