My friend Amanda Phillips gave me a hard time last weekend because I haven't updated the blog in quite some time. This is true, and to be honest, there isn't much to update. My mom is still thinking about coming. I don't want to rush her, and yet I don't want to buy plane tickets until she has decided. I know that once we've reserved our tickets, the trip will start feeling more real. But in the meantime, it feels a bit like Africa's on pause and school with 17 third graders has taken over the play button (12 of whom are very energetic boys, so many times it feels like we're stuck on fast forward!)
I did go and get my haircut last week and found out that the girl who cuts my hair, Lyndi, has been to Africa. She went to Kenya two years ago to help in an orphanage for a month. She told me a ton about her experience, and I feel a bit more prepared in what to expect. (Especially in the area of food, it sounds like boiled goat meat will be the standard fare). Actually, she emailed some pictures to me today, and I think I can post a few here. I created a photo album with the pictures, click on the link to see them: https://abbeyafrica.angelfire.com/lyndis_food
I'm having some technical difficulties, so if you want to see the pictures, you'll have to cut and paste the link above into a new window, or highlight the link, right click, and click "Go to address"
Well, I've been working on this blog post for quite awhile. I'm not as savvy with creating links as I hoped I would be. Oh well, hopefully you can view the pictures.
More to come later...
