Jumela Me

Hopefully the slopyness of the last blog and the spelling errors allows you to understand how pressed for time I am to write these blogs. It is difficult to find internet and when I do finally find a place it can get pricey. But nonetheless, I enjoy it and I hope you do too!

After the traditional healer we all went horse riding. 2 hours cost 7 dollars! What a deal. It was a great way to experience the surrounding villages. Everyone stares at us while we pass but again, just shouting out to them in their language shows them a bit of respect and they almost always repay you with a smile.

I mentioned our guide and the two Dutch girls that we went up with because they really were great to have along. I prefer doing things independently but both times that I have hired a guide I have been happy. One example of our spirit on this trip. On the ride home we started singing pop songs from the last 5 decades and everyone in the car was screaming out to the tunes of the Beatles, Temptations, Eagle Eye Cherry and many more. It was great fun. It was a great cultural experience but also a great time to just have fun with cool, interesting people. This trip deserved two blogs and so much more because the truth is, there is so much to talk about.

In closing, last night a guy told me that he has been traveling for 5 weeks and that the time has just flown by. For me, I have had 16 wonderful days in Africa and it feels like it has been 3 months. It isn't because I am bored, but Nathan and I wake up everyday at sunrise, and pack so much into each day. At night we usually spark conversation amongst the backpackers and dont get to sleep until 11 or midnight. That, along with missing Sheila makes the time here seem very long. But I am glad. So much has happened that I will have plenty to talk about for quite some time. This blog is only an appetizer to the stories I can tell!
