Today a woman from an unknown number and who only spoke swahili called our house 6 times at 8:00 in the morning and woke Tyler and I up. Each time we answered she hung up. Sketchy....
Also in today's news we went gift shopping for people back home. I won't say what I bought though because it will ruin the surprise for Mom and Anna. We got everything dirt cheap because a man took us around to the cheapest places simply because he's a nice guy. People are so awesome here, it seems like everyone is willing to do something like this for us.
We went to Mahonda to teach English and computers, but Tyler and Mcha were the only ones teaching computer class for an hour and a half so Steph and I decided to walk around the rural landscape. Needless to say, we felt like there was nothing out there and that we were in the middle of nowhere. We also saw a lizard scurry across the road that was about a foot long (no joke) but it was moving fast so there was no time to get a picture of it. It was a strange sight, the two of us white people in the middle of a rural farming area in Africa. Whoever saw us stared for a second or two, and the confusion on their faces was pretty obvious.
Last night we celebrated Thanksgiving a day late. We went to an Italian restaurant because it was the closest thing to Western food we could find, and we ate some really delicious pizza. It was a good way to forget about work and enjoy the island atmosphere.
I would publish pictures but for some reason the sky is red in a lot of them; it's definetely a problem with this computer so I'll try to post some next time.
