The internet has been down at the house and around town for a few days, but we found a high speed internet cafe, so may be able to upload some photos at some point? This past weekend most of the volunteers from the previous group as well as ours left. Thursday night we went to the watering hole, which is a German run “mzungu” bar, then Friday at glacier (more local). So now we’re down to five until this weekend. The house is really quite, but its kind of a nice break. Heading to Zanzibar on Thursday, very excited! Will update more later, minutes running out!

Week 3…So Far
This week has been quite eventful! After fully recovering on Monday, Tuesday we got to go to the Morgue at work. I wasn’t sure what my reaction would be, but I was fine. Apparently there are two “coolers” for general deaths (disease, old age, and suicide-which is unfortunately high here) and another for police cases, which most are never solved due to lack of organization and a lot of corruption. Later that day we went to KCMC, the private hospital next to the medical school.
The Day to Day
So for those interested, my everyday looks basically like this:
Weekdays
6am-wake up
7am breakfast
8-12pm-work
1pm-lunch
then free time or “cultural activities” like waterfall hikes, orphanage visits, etc.
6pm-dinner
then usually after dinner hang around and talk to people then usually in bed by 9:30pm, at the latest!
It Finally Hits…
Yesterday afternoon I finally I got sick, fever and body ache mostly. But after sleeping all afternoon and night I feel much better today, still not %100, but better. My fever is gone, so now my stomach just feels “off.” I’m hoping I’m on the rebound, but we’ll see, most people who have gotten sick stayed sick for at least a week, but maybe I’ll be OK. Luckily, no trip this weekend, a bunch went to Zanzibar but the four of us who are staying longer decided to wait to get cheaper airfare. So just plan on relaxing the entire time, may go to the grocery store at some point…
