I'm hot and dusty and happy. Probably gave away a dozen avocados from my tree today. Got to help set up a small African art gallery at the vocational school site. Helped greet 8 college volunteers from Crossroads in the US. They're here for two months to build living quarters for future volunteers. And I'm so happy because I found a connection that is working quite well - for now. Knock knock wood wood. I'll also be meeting Mitch's bus in a half hour or so and he'll be here to join me - knock knock wood wood.
This morning I arrived in the office to learn the government who leases the building hasn't paid the bills so power was cut off. Then I went with the van to get gas so we could get out to a work site and the gas station had no gas. We were to call another driver but the phone was down. Such is life in Africa. Everyone just keeps on smiling.

Hi Joyanne,
Welcome to AFRICA. Your experiences are so typical, as you have already learned.
Carin's Bday party was really FUN. In the next couple of days, a few of us will be doing a zip line adventure to continue the celebration.
Love
Linda
