crickets and birds singing, oh and the occassional cow moo-ing

It's 7pm here in Kitale. Alice left this morning to go to church to pray and she said she would be back by 3:30. She's late. But then again that's not anything new. Time isn't that important to many Kenyan's, well the ones I've met so far at least. As Edna says, it's African Time! lol


Today I didn't go to school. The kids had exams all day long so there wasn't any point in me going. I'm glad I had this day just to take it easy. I sat outside in the shade and read for a long time. It was heavenly. I've found though that I love killing those pesky ants. There kinda big and black and brown. It's kinda fun to kill them and then tell them, "Not on my watch you don't." LOL


I just finished tea and biscuits. The biscuits are basically graham crackers but a bit sweeter and they go great with my chai tea. Well it's tea and the Kenyan's call it Chai for the most part.  Dinner won't be ready until 8 or 9pm.  Lunch was great. Edna made minced meat (hamburger meat) mixed with onions, tomatoes, cilantro, soy sauce, and I don't know what else and it was served with rice. OH and AVACADOS!!!! Did I tell you these are fresh just off of the tree? OH man are they good to eat!!!


Well it's time to close the windows and close the curtains. Can't let the bugs in you know.
Until next time,
