Just another day in paradise

Wow, it is very hot here, and our classroom is small.  Put 20+ bodies in there, and we are cookin'!  After 3 hours of classes, we take a 30-minute lunch break (5 people in the kitchen at once) before we offer 2 more hours of extra help.  We are loving the fact that so many students are coming for help.  Feel like I could wring myself out when 2:30 PM comes around. Whose idea was it to come in their summertime???  Yearning for the October weather of GA, but getting used to the HOT sunshine little by little.  Victoria and I have been jogging--out the door at 6:15 AM while the sun is just coming up and the traffic is light (well, as light as it gets) plus we get to see all the kids on their way to school.  This morning we left the house WITH power and returned to find it out again--that meant cold showers (yeah, the alternative was no shower)!  John is on his way in from Dar es Salaam on the Kili Express, so we'll have 6 in the house for a bit.  More about the 3 Australians in another post.

  1. SO SORRY about the heat and power outages . . . it is definitely getting cooler here . . . people in the northeast actually have gotten snow recently -- BEFORE Halloween!! Don't know what that says about the kind of winter we can expect!! :-)
