-Lizards run around here like squirrels. They pop up in unexpected places and hang out just long enough for you to get a quick look and then they scurry back into the sidewalk cracks and gutters. Some are small and just chill on your window, but there are these really pretty ones whose bodies go from red to blue to white to blue to red. Or something like that.
-Three girls live in my dorm who are keeping kosher and I'm learning a lot from them. Like new Yiddish words. Hannah, you would be so proud. They have to cook all of their own food and they let me sing Passover songs with them. It's been fun.
-I think I'm getting the hang of trotros.
-If you want to hear some good stories, ask me about Nelly. I promise you won't be disappointed.
-I had a great conversation about Westport/Staples today with the girl who lives in the room next to me. Her name is Amanda and she graduated two years ahead of me and did indoor track the same years I did. We both decided that there are some things to be appreciated about Westport however much we wanted to get out of it.
-however slow paced everything is here, there is a ton of hustle and bustle that I feel like I'm getting used to.
I've done a lot since my last post but don't have time to talk about it all. Anticipate greater description of...
-my trip to Fadama
-Medina market
-benefits of having to work a little harder for things that are so easy in the US like
--showering
--bathrooming
--laundry
--drinking water
--traveling
--buying things
--getting things accomplished in general.
People are very happy here and I've thought a lot about that. I don't quite know how to put it into words yet, but I will share my thoughts soon.
