Oh No......not Goodbye!!
Hey Kim, You are an amazing writer and I can't tell you how much I have enjoyed ever single word of every single entry. The way you described your experiences made me feel like I was there with you and both Bert and I looked forward to each day often asking "have you read Kim's blog yet?". Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for such a gift, that's what this journal was for us.....something to look forward to everyday - Holy, what are we going to read now?! See you soon I hope, C

The good, the bad and the very drunk
Hi kim Sounds like life goes on in Africa land. So nice to read your blogg, and it is such a nice change to looking at the words of my project. As for the project itself it is feels like being stuck in quicksand. You can't get out and time is ticking!!! Oh well, now I have done nearly all of my interviews so now it is just up to me to wrap it all up to a readible thing! This weekend we had a massive party will all kinds of people joining in. The good, the bad and the very drunk. we started off at 6 in the afternoon on friday and Stian pulled the fuse to the wirlpool at 7 on Sunday morning. Luckly knowbody had made any mess in the house, so after clearing up the mess, we just took out the power hoose and cleaned up the paving. It was great fun though... this weekend we are off to Oslo for a mini break. Enjoy the rest of your stay, doing fieldwork. Sounds so exciting. And I must congratulate you on your Swahili. You are a wizz!!! Oh and please do not let yourself get run over by cars.... Take care girl See you soon Christel

Hey Kim
It sounds very crazy over there. Not your exactly your common "sitting on a beach drinking pina coladas" vacation hey? Are there many tourists that frequent the town you are in? Those pictures that you posted of the labs don't make them out to be too high tech...maybe it was just the angle the pic was taken at... Are you going to have any time to get out on a safari or do a little non-philanthropy-related travel in the area? Perhaps pick me up those blood diamonds I have been so patiently awaiting? Things are going good back here, except for the level of strangeness in the meals that Mom and Dad eat is steadily increasing. I think by the end of summer we will be eating 100% tofu and lentils...on a completely unrelated note I have been eating out much more frequently. Oh, and Ty smashed up his nose when he allegedly swam into a pool wall while he was swimming laps sober at 10am; nobody around here believes the story through. We are convinced that there is more to the story because we all know that Ty doesn't wake up until 1pm. Anyways, keep writing and posting pictures. We miss you back here.
