i have blisters on my feet because my shoes don't fit right. but at least i have shoes, right? people who don't have shoes don't get blisters, they get tough soles.

it was very very hot today until the breeze came and we went up the hill and a big, dark cloud was overhead. seven giant raindrops fell and it was cold. the african ladies went inside to get their sweaters. i leaned back and could finally breathe.

i bought more than 1 kg of beans, 1 kg of onions, 1 kg of tomatoes, 1/2 kg of green peppers, and 2 bulbs of garlic for 6,000 shillings, about $3. the lady threw in 3 extra carrots and a scoop of beans because i spent so much. i then bought one pineapple and 20 bananas. I was overcharged, in total 3500 shillings for both, less than $2.

one minute.

i at an an african restaurant for dinner. (thanks friends for the experience) we got 2 cones of grasshoppers for appetizer. when we asked the waiter for chips (french fries) he ran across the street and bought them from another place. we got chicken in broth and sweet potatoes and beans and greens. they were good. we asked for a box for the leftovers. the waitress went across the street and bought a small plastic shopping bag. she held it open while we scraped the rice and chicken and potatoes in. we gave it to some street kids on the way to the van.
