This shout out goes out to Holly ! and anyone else who is planning on visiting me :) you will not be staying in a tent out in the wild! unless you want to of course. I have found out that I will be placed in Turbo, which is a small town outside Elderot. You can start looking up flights :) more details later, but fyi I will be staying in a 4 bedroom house with another volunteer, it has western toilets and an american shower, with electricity and running water. I guess someone decided I am roughing it enough during training.
Here is a little bit of whats been going on in Loitockitock. Everyday we have several hours of language training, i may actually be able to speak kiswahili by the end! We also have culture and other training after lunch. Foods I eat, well lately its been peanut butter and jelly sandwich's for lunch, its cheaper and i get sick of the local foods. Which include: ugali (really thick grits, eatin with kale) (2-3 times a week) beans, rice, beans, chapati, beans, cabbage, beans, aroroot, pancakes, and more beans. Good thing i like beans! The food here truly is not bad, and usually pretty healthy minus all of the carbs. i.e. my Chapati baby!
On Tuesdays and Saturdays is market day. This means Everyone from here and surrounding areas comes to sell item including: fruits, vegetables, new and used clothing, pretty much everything! I have already purchased several skirts, tops and others. I will post pictures when I get chance, but im still using cyber cafe so that will be awhile. That pretty much it so far. Email me for personal stuff! Happy 4th of July!!! xoxoxoxo
thanks for the update!! America misses you! :) xoxo
