The Gift
On today for the first time and we have been pouring through your marvelous journal all afternoon. Erika, you do have "the Gift". Your writings are wonderful and your experiences are "priceless" --thanks for sharing. I seriously believe you should look into publishing sometime in the future.

Can not wait to visit!
Hey yovo Africaner! Your home sounds like a good place! Your friends and family here are all talking about coming to visit. I can not wait to meet your friends, of course we will need a translator to converse. Oh yeah, the picture of the road in Africa looks amazingly similar to the mud road next to ours here in Kansas!

Shirayuri's own, White Girl!
Erika, I totally understand what you mean about suddenly realizing that as similar as you are, you are not a tree! And I, too, am surprised when I see a lot more white people in a day than I am used to. I say things like, "Hey look at that white guy who just walked in. He looks really young." While sitting in a Starbucks! [Okay, that just happened last night!] Shannon and if anyone reading your comments wants to check up on me: http://atchison-to-tokyo.blogspot.com

Erika, you need to show them some of the dance moves we invented in Canyon... I think they would go over really well...lol:) Glad to hear you were "happy" for New Year's! I got to see some friends I haven't seen in about 4yrs., but it seemed like no time had passed at all! We didn't get "happy", but we still had a great time catching up... hooray for 2006!

fitting in
If your work is to live there, be happy, and learn than nobody is more fit for the job. I can't imagine you being in a new place and not being interested or wanting to learn. I love that about you erika! You fit in anywehre, even if it is different.

Nancy one more time....
I thought of you while i did some bird watching while swimming in a crocodile infested river...quite invigorating. Cattle Egrets are everywhere here. As for thanksgiving dinner, yours looks fantastic. Meg and i checked prices for turkeys here and an average one cost $40US. jamaicans don't eat much turkey. Keep up the blogging....i've been waiting a long time to read these.

Erika, Plantains are one of my favorite foods here. I think you need to try frying them. They are best fried in the skillet with a little butter. I even had them "candied" once and that was also very good! If you have fried them and still don't like them....send them all to me. It is also Mango season here....but sadly i have only had a few. They are delicious.

You look great in the pictures!! I love your hair that way. You are very wise. When you are 50 and you are wiser than you are now, remember to give yourself credit for being pretty dang wise back in "the day".

SNOW HERE!!!
50 is not old. And no one who is truly 50 +, would be offended! This is such an exciting time for you! Even though missing home, especially for the Holidays, remember the predictability, and sameness of it all!!!And it will still be there when you come home. Kinda boring to us 50 +'s, at times. Stay warm for us! Sounds like you have too much mud there, at times also! Merry Christmas!!!Love You!!!Donna

Hello!
Hey girly. I've been meaning to write you a little note. I hope things are going good. Be glad that you aren't in Ks. It is snowing like crazy and very cold. Surprisingly it is not too crazy here at work yet. Here is my email at work aallen@doulgas-county.com if you ever have time to write.
