I'm still alive...
A couple of boda-bodas passing through in a hurry, each one with a white girl on the "backseat". That's Kathrine and me.. The road is humpy, steep and curvy. The wind is blowng through my hair and I'm thinking: "I don't want to die..."
I must admit that I sent quite a few prayers up to God this last saturday. But it went well and I had a nice time. Our purpose for this trip was to visit a friend of ours at his house. It was qite far away into the countryside. Some of the roads we travelled on were just paths, and when we came to the house I was surprised to find a nice brickhouse. It's so strange that in "the middle of nowhere" this house stod...
We were warmly welcomed and shown the whole farm - at least it felt like that. The cows, goats, fields etc. But it was fun to spend the day another place and get to see how some people are living.
We spent the whole day there and was served lunch at their place. People are so friendly and sharing.. It never stop to amaze me...
We got sugarcane and g-nuts, it made me happy (childhoodmemories...) :) :
Sunday we were present at a meeting that lasted for four houres. Some of it was really interesting, but I kind of lost the consentration... I didn't feel that I could just go either.. Because we're white/honour gests there were some special seats for us... Lucky us... But I find the atmosphere and rythms nice. I like it... :)
At work monday, Kathrine and I joined the volunteer-training. The whole day passed by with this. It was a training for the volunteers at two "friends at heart" schools (the other 5 schools are being trained by this week as well..) I found the day long, but some interesting things were said, and I learned some new things...
On our spare time, which we still have a lot of, we've just done some domestic chores, been reading and some walking. We made our first meal on the charcoaloven last night (the power's gone - some problems with the line...). It was lovely to eat spaghetti and tomatosauce. Nice to have some varieties in eating. We haven't made food on this oven before quite frankly because we have been to lazy, thinking it would take to much time. But I found it quite nice and it didn't take the time I fared. I can acctually reccomend it.. (off course it's easier to make on an electric stove, but it's fun to have tried this as well...)

The food was really good:
I think that's all for now folks... =)
