Hi all. Not too much to say yet. I wanted to make a post but I'm not much of a writer when I don't have anything specific I want to say. I've been doing mostly fun stuff since I got here. We went to a pool at a nearby hotel one day and to the beach yesterday. I've tried some good African food as well. Haven't had too much going on in terms of classes because we only have class three days a week and no class yesterday (professor is in the states) and no class today (a holiday, African Union Day).
Last Friday started out good; we went to a market and I bought some fabric to have a dress made. Then when we got home I got pretty sick and threw up. I couldn't go on a beach trip and spent the afternoon laying on the couch and feeling sorry for myself. I always get homesick when I'm not feeling well and can't be in my own bed. I called Andy and missed him terribly. I thought that I would surely never feel better and that these were about to be the longest eight weeks of my life.
Of course, the moment passed and I am feeling a-okay now. My stomach settled and though I of course will continue to miss Andy, I really am feeling right at home here and making friends. Today we are planning to go to a market that opens for the holiday and I am hoping to make at least a little progress on developing my research project. I'll write about it here when I get things a bit more fleshed out! Here are some pictures, though I haven't taken many.
