Just a few quick updates:
Last night the Kenyan Government issued an evacuation warning for Mombasa and Kenya's coast regarding an impending Tsunami of indeterminate magnitude. Fortunately it has not yet, and probably will not hit.
As such, we leave for the coast tomorrow. We will be in Mombasa for a day, and then go to Bodo, a 300 person RURAL, Islamic village on the coast itself. We will be there for 10 days without running water, electricity...etc. Should be an experience, as our hosts don't even really speak English, so here I will be using the Swahili I've learned and learning more!
I also got food poisioned and had to go to the doctor today (but here you don't go to a doctor's office, as they don't really exist, doctor's work at the hospital.) The program's doctor is very good (so breathe mom) and he did a blood test (with a needle I saw him open himself, again mom, breathe) and said I have definately food poison and maybe a parasitic infection. But he gave me some antibiotics and said I should be good in a day. Odoch took me and was so nice. And I just don't feel so well, but that is just part of life here---my body is realizing that this isn't America anymore...
So I will not have email after tomorrow for 10 days, but keep me posted!
xoxo
