Passion Fruit Heaven

I've decided I have a few things to say as well. This is my first experience with blogging but I'll try to keep you up to date with my impressions.

I have included a picture of our table and market fare. I'm attempting to exist entirely on passion fruit for the next 4 weeks. Actually I'm not, but it isn't a bad idea.

I wake up giggling in the morning. This is because the neighbours' rooster crows at exactly 6:30. It continues to crow off and on throughout the day which also makes me giggle and I'm not sure why. Unfortunately the rooster alarm isn't set early enough for the work week, so I'm going to have a chat with him later about crowing a little earlier Mon-Fri.

In case any of you were wondering, I did not join Patty on her early-morning-hour-long-up hill twice run. I lounged in bed reading (and laughing at the rooster).

I'm excited for what today will bring. We will be celebrating Patty's birthday with an afternoon at the Serena Hotel followed by dinner out with Paulin!

My favourite experience so far has been meeting Patty's Rwandan friends. These are amazing people with touching stories. Steven joined us for dinner last night and I could have listened to him forever. We actually had dinner by "headlamp" light which added some mystique to the conversations.

My least favourite experience has been the cockroaches. I know they are harmless but they just look so gross. My stomping reflex is steadily improving. I was also put off by the roach who decided to shed his carapace next to the dining room table.

Thanks for listening. I'll try to keep you updated and should have much more interesting things to say once we start work tomorrow.
