Courtney's First Post!

Hi everybody!

Things are going better for me. I am calming down. Every good day usually has something not so good though. I got a stomach bug yesterday and insulted a bunch of rural women by running out of the room where they were serving the food and being ill in the latrine. I'll be avoiding milk from now on, as I think that is what made me sick. Neil kept trying to feed me, and I just wanted to sleep. I almost hit him. But I took 2 gravol, and I was better this morning. Although I slept for a very, very long time.

Today has been a good day, with no problems so far. (Cross your fingers for me!) We went to part of the Kakamega Forest today, and saw some really cool trees and birds and buterflies and some monkies. Ephy's three kids came with us, and they were upset they didn't see any in the forest, but when we were driving down the road to leave I spotted some, so we got out of the car and took photos. It was pretty neat. One of them kept posing for us.

We've found a supermarket that I like, so shopping and cooking for ourselves should happen more often now. Hopefully that will mean less illnesses.

Tomorrow we're going to a Quaker church, where service lasts from 10:30 to 2 in the afternoon. It should be an interesting experiance!

Gotta go, we're sitting in Ephy's husband's office, as we're wary to wander off to the cyber cafe on our own yet.

Lots of love,
Courtney
