Will "The Real Africa" Please Stand Up?

Friday, June 15

We have completed our therapy days here and tomorrow is our good-bye day...what a time it has been. This past week was full of things that we had wanted to do but had put off until now as well. We watched a couple movies (with popcorn of course), had meetings about our travel week, got on top of one of the containers to watch the stars (which was one of the best nights ever, at least 12 shooting stars in the course of 3 hours), and learned the marriage traditions of Zambia. Don't worry, none of us actually got married, but we wanted to know what happens here. Our watchmen friends, Justin and Webster, who are both married already, were kind enough to act it out with us. Pretty sure I laughed until it hurt.

Other than working with the babies, it has been a week of minimal showers and lengthy blackouts. We have, until this point, had plenty of water to shower, brush our teeth, wash our face and use the toilet. As well as predictable blackouts on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but this week did not fit the mold at all. I don't mind because we are all in the same boat, but none of us want to get sick either. This group has been through the stomach bug, pink eye and ringworm. I only had nausea for one day, thankfully.

I will post about more deatils tomorrow. It is bedtime here. Comment if you want to know anything that I haven't written about :)
