Ponderings

Things that are interesting:
1) We saw a Black Mamba (not Kobe Bryant) sun bathing by the road next to a primary school. We made a pit stop to inform them, apparently a snake had killed a man earlier this week. A snake's venom can kill someone in 2 hours. A 4 foot snake has enough venom to kill at least 20 people.
2) We have taught at 4 of the 5 schools. Two of the villages were angels, I wouldn't mind if I never stepped foot in the other village again...sassy seventh graders are not my cup of tea.
3) We are hosting a marathon this weekend. Each contestant must sign a waiver stating that they do not have malaria for a symptom of malaria is dehydration. People are willing to risk their lives in order to win the cash prize.
4) In the United States only creepers/pedophiles (or Mustache March participants) display this disgusting facial trend. The other night JJ decided he would show off this undesirable fashion to the children of Kasigua. Lucky them.
5) My parent's just celebrated their 24 Wedding Anniversary. Congratulations!
6)  We leave the villages in 9 days and head to the coast for a tropical vacation before we head home. I'm in desperate need of a little bronzing/beach action.
