Hello everybody! Well, the tour to Katatura went today at 3:00pm it was sooooo much fun. Henny(i think that is how it is spelled) and victory (two people that are staff at the chameleons) took us out. There were 6 of us... all of us are going to harnas tomorrow. It was fun getting to know everybody even before we left. There are three girls who all came together from Dublin Ireland and then there is two (guy and girl) who came from London. WE had a blast on the tour it was way more than we expected it to be. First they drove us out through the shanty town and then we stopped at the local market. I ate a dried worm/slug thing! Then we also tried other stuff like the awesome bread that they ... read more

Hey so I can't find my cords right now to hook my camera up to the computer, everything is sprawled out across my room due to the laundry soap leakage. I will have to organize this tonight! No, the baboons I saw did not have the red butts... at least as far as I could see. So anyways. I haven't been up to much today. I ordered an omelette for breakfast, because they smelled so good, but now I have a bit of a stomach ache. Probabley just because I have only had left over pizza and bread lately LOL. ... read more

hello again! My pizza was delicious! Hawaiian style (thank you mat). I went to bed super early yesterday because I was tired... also because the electricity went out and they didn't get it back on for like 3 hours (by then i was sleeping). I knew it would be cold but it is like really cold at night! I slept with two comforters and sweat pants. This morning, was also cold when i left but I just got back and now it is hot. So... I got up this morning determined to exchange some money because I had like none left. So I ask the counter where to exchange money, they said there is a bank in the mall so I got directions and walked to the mall. (Kind of freaky because I was scared of ... read more

Hello from the Madrid airport! I got no sleep whatsoever on the plane despite taking a tylenol pm. I didn´t go to the zoo as planned today :-( . I decided to just hang out at the airport since it took me over two hours to even slightly understand where I am in this place not to mention somehow exiting the security area and then when I went to go back through I somehow made the beeper go off and I had to be searched. Also I have no idea how to get a taxi. Besides no sleep the flight wasn´t bad. It is really weird flying into madrid.... mountains and hills and all these little towns... but barely no trees! Well, got to go, time is running out. Love yous mom and jamie- the information ... read more
