....you turn on the shower and the sink comes on
....you get ready to go out for the day, open you apartment door, get hit by a cloud of white smoke, and walk out to a million cockroaches running below your feet
....you wake up feeling a little sick, and your first thought is that your new friend, Mr. Amoeba has made a new home in your stomach
....you make vacation plans by which one of your roommates will get bitten by a dog first....free trip to Dubai anyone
....your electricity goes out....only on ONE side of the house....and it's always the side with the air cons and refrigerator
....you think you might be able to blend into the crowd...but then quickly realize you're white, female, and speak with a southern accent
....your new form of entertainment is making up dance moves to old school rap songs with your roommate...just because you can
and finally....you drive around the city for an hour because you can't speak the language and you're not really sure where you're going..yet you enjoy the ride and little breeze that comes in...OH GLORIOUS AFRICA!!!

ha. doesn't every house have different phases? i just thought that's how we did this whole electricity thing. ya know... one day you get your fridge. the next day your tv. they just gotta ration your phases. :)
Sarah! hey friend! i miss you and your two african amigas. i'm glad to hear that i'm not the only one who has power outages, but mine are throughout the entire house. know that i'm praying for you. isn't it great that we have laughter to get us through frustrating times?! love you.
Hey girl,
Long time no talk. It sounds like Africa is unique experience:
"walk out to million cockroaches"
"bitten by a dog"
funky electricity
Yes you are white, female, but was that a southern accent?
We think of you constantly, as we stil have your picture hanging in our kitchen.
Is there anything we can send you??? Any needs?
Take care in Africa. Gary
i miss you. love you lots friend.
