Wow I can’t believe it is the end of October already. Maybe because it is like summer here and not fall. We are entering spring so the trees are starting to get buds on them.
We have had 6 weeks of language learning. It is nice to be able to go into town and do our shopping in Swahili as well here and understand words from other conversations. I thought I would share what our daily routine is for us.

| Dining Hall |
We don’t cook any meals so we go to the dining hall for every meal. We go to breakfast around 7:30. We have the options of oatmeal, eggs, bacon, sausage, tomatoes, and beans. We were starting to get tired of these options so we bought corn flakes. They were some of the best corn flakes we ever had. Not because they were extra good but because we were missing cereal. Who would have thought we would miss cereal.

| Our school banda |
Swahili class starts at 8:30 and the kids start school. We have a half hour break at 10:30 for Chia, tea and a snack. We have another break at 12:30 for half an hour and then we end at 1:30 and eat lunch right away. The afternoons are spent taking showers, playing with the kids and doing homework. Supper is at 6:30. We usually watch part of a movie with the kids or 1-2 episodes of the Cosby Show.
The food is mostly American types of food. We have lots of rice, mashed potatoes, chicken, beef, veggies and fruit. The veggies are fruit are so fresh and good.

| Tenting on top of the truck |
It is fun to be in the cabin we are because we get to see lots of campers. There are a lot of people that stop here for a night or two as they are traveling across Africa or Tanzania. It has been fun to see their camping gear. They usual camp in the open grassy area beside our cabin. The coolest is the tent on top of the truck. There seem to be companies that rent out these trucks. Some of the trucks are all compartments; in the back with all the tools you need for camping like a fold down gas stove, sealed containers to store stuff. The containers are heavy duty and seal real well because it is so dusty and dust gets into everything.

I love the dining hall and school room. Having someone else cook sounds fine to me! It's nice you're getting American food. I didn't expect that.
