Kongas - Day 9

mmm, today was a good day.  i say that apprehensively, because it wasn’t amazing.  but in contrast to the generally poor disposition of a few days past, things shaped up alright today. 

we got out of classes early so i went to morogoro with many others.  finally used internet for an hour.  got a pair of flip flops and a konga for wrapping/towel, etc.  looking forward to getting a shirt or two made.  rode the daladala all by myself! a confusing experience, but it is nice to just throw myself into it and get it over with. baptism by fire. 

i came home and baba had visitiors. they mostly laughed at me which is fine, i only said hi and then went to take a shower.  he is still sick, and i asked mama, she said it hasn’t happened before.  gives things some context; wasn’t sure if the kids were used to that or anything.  had a great nite for language. a lot of kiswahili came out of my mouth, even if i had to look it up first. in due time.

i wonder how happy everyone is.  i already asked that, but it’s true.

listening to graham nash’s album.  good stuff so far.
