Down time and stuff

Off time

After a stressful morning Monday we walked back to the house for a quick lunch. They make us a breakfast and supper but lunch is usually leftovers. Breakfast is hot porridge and one changing hot food, pancake one day, eggs, creeps, etc. other than that there is ample fresh fruit, bread for toast, cereal, jams spreads coffee tea etc. supper is usually 1 fresh salad, 1 meat dish, 2 starches usually rice and potatoe, and 3 different vegetable dishes. There Re always many gallons of fresh squeezed juice and a pantry of easily prep arable foods as well.

After our lunch we took a walking tour of th town, went to the atm(my card works woot) currency exchange, passed a f restaurants, book store, Mai market, meeting place for lost people, supermarket... We all stopped in the super market to see what it had. I bought a bottle of the,local liquor Konyagi for about 5 dollars. It's made of some fruit I have no clue about but it tastes just like triple sec/orange liquor. I mix it with the house juice they make and am very pleased. Everyone else thinks it tastes like nail polish mover but I think it's actually one of my favourite hard spirits I've had...

In the evening with any free time people mostly play cRds or are on their phones reading the internet and talking to friends. Tuesday Wednesday Thursday we have a 1 hour global health tutorial on a changing topic, malnutrition, HIV,emergencies and accidents, malaria etc. Tuesday and Wednesday they set up a volleyball net and we play for a few hours. On Tuesday night they brought in a local troupe of dancers and acrobats and they gave us a little show. Today(Thursday) we went to the orphanage this week it was 0-6 years old. They mostly didn't seem to interested in me but after awhile I had a whole group I was chasing around laughing. The final game that got the most of them in glee involved me picking one up, holding him or her under my arm straight as a log, and chasing the others around the yard. When I was finally to tired to continue and tried to sit I had a half dozen of them climbing on me and pulling my arms.

Tonight most of us will be heading to a local club for some drinking and dNcing, I hear most of the staff get involved as well and it's always a fun night.
On Friday after our hospital hours most of us will be leaving for a weekend safari.
