Now just a quick update on the good stuff! Teaching has been amazing the kids are sooo cute they all want to touch me and they love my hair, they will happily sit there and pet me like a dog for hours, most of them have never seen a Mzungo (white person) and anything i say they giggle and they make soo much fun of me wheni try to spaek Maasai. Home life is great we were all dancing up a starm last night was mama was making dinner over the fire. Yesterday i went to this guys Dominics hout with Adrian he is oo lovely he is training to run marathons and he runs45K a day!! it is kinda sad though coz i don't think he will ever have the money to race in the places where he will be seen. He lives in a traditional maasai boma, just sticks and cow poo very dark with lots of flies and a fire inside so it is incredibly smoky, his sister dressed me up in traditional maasai i look soo rediculous i will post the pics asap so you can all laugh at me! Anywh i am heading out on Safari so i must go, please don't worry about me i am incredibly happy and having the time of my life , even though it was a bad start i would still do it all again as it makes me appreciate everything so much more, talk to you all soon xx

Hi Babee

I have been trying ot call you for a few days either phone is off or no service where you are or I think the battery has run low. If the latter can you charge it.? I prefer to chat than e-mail like this. Not much change here or apart from the snow that was on my car the other day just had to have a final blast and of course with a damp basment that is just perfect conditions to ensure it will be nice and smelly fot you coming back. Just kidding I plan to buy a new carpet if I have to so let me know if you have any preferances, that of course means you have to chip in with the money hehehehehe. We all miss you and are so happy to be living through you even got us tempted to go AND YES UGANDA is OUT they are having some conflicts there unless you go to some very small areas and you need to go through the dodgy parts to get to them but I will do some more research.
LOVE U lots miss U just as much
