Well, I've officially experienced Africa. Yup, I can die here now and be fairly content. And really, I am starting to make a list of the ways I could quite easily die here. But don't worry, it's a fun thought! Not a morbid one.
I'm using today to try to respond to as many emails and stuff as possible because in keeping this blog I've neglected to be more personal. There just isn't enough time to do it all...anyway I'll blog about my experience at Mole tomorrow, if everything goes as planned, because it will probably take a while to write about. But for now, I'll tease you with the fact that it was wonderful and ridiculous and stressful and cool. Yup. Are you enticed? Also, I'm having a bit of a malaria scare at the moment but I think it's just the combination of headache and cough and soreness and dizziness. Whatever else that could be...But if I disappear for a while, don't be worried. Lots of volunteers get malaria and it's mostly gone within a week. Speaking of, Alice felt better and was able to come along to Mole, which was lucky as otherwise she'd be stuck at home sleeping all weekend. But yeah, proof that it's not that bad!
More tomorrow.

Good to hear from you again, and very glad Alice felt better and was able to join you. Hope you can phone tomorrow. Can't wait to read about Mole! Have a good day with your children - I hope they missed you!
ReplyDeleteJulia! I want to know about Mole!! Please don't get malaria!
ReplyDeleteJulia Louise.
ReplyDeleteCome back to Livermore. Do not get malaria.
Whine, whine, whine, fuss, complain, sniffle. Growl.
Meh.
Did you get my message?
I hope that you understand that you're going to have to re-tell all this business when you return. Dont get me wrong, I've been reading your bloggy blog entries but I expect pictures and supplemental spoken stories.
Juj!
ReplyDeleteI like whoever it was who posted before me. :]
I'm anxious to hear about Mole!
I'm also curious to know if it's pronounced like the tunneling mammal or like the spicy Mexican chocolate sauce ... ?
I enjoy how everyone has taken to writing anonymously so that I have to guess the author. It's actually kind of funny to see how easily I can identify everyone by their writing. Now you have to guess who I'm responding to!
ReplyDeleteI got your message but it didn't let me check my inbox again so I was unable to reply! The internet is good today so I'll try after this. Of course I shall retell. This is only a launching point so that I can have some base from which to explain all this insanity. I have many stories I have neglected to write here. And I doubt you could sit through all the pictures, but I will show you the good ones. :]
