So, just for gobble gf!!!
The weather here is wonderful, hot and sunny! I have a farmer's tan! Pretty huh?? We had a tiny bit of rain and wind but only during the night......it is hot and beautiful. Very green here, lots of banana palms, coffee, and vegetables, remember we are in a mountainous area. The people are wonderful and welcoming and it will be very hard to leave.
We have been eating rice, ugali (flour porridge sort of), lots of vegetables and even some chips (fries), cucumber and carrot soup....I miss other food so I go to the little shops and eat bajia, sombusa, mandazi, kabab, chapati and nyama choma!!! I miss meat so I eat it when I can get it, nyama choma is roast meet. We had a celebration last week, but I missed it due to being sick, where they prepared a fresh goat for us. They also add bananas to a lot of the food.
Rahma's (a student of mine at home) mom and dad came to get me and fed me up with fish, rice, coconut beans, chapati bread, sweet donut type kitumbua cakes and fresh squeezed juices. Tonight some of the guests, a bit more than half, are in town as they fly out tomorrow, so we are all eating at an Ethiopian restuarant and then going to the Colobus Club disco for some beers and local music. I am drinking Tuskars...two do me well....we leave monday night....see you at home, love you all so much, everyone is safe and happy and well......love to all and thanks for the support!!
Nondo....my new name, not trouble anymore.....nondo means iron....hahahaha
