THINGS I HAVE LEARNED IN AFRICA
A cold outdoor shower on a sunmy day is a luxury. I love it.
You can get absolutely filthy teaching under a tree for half a day.
A chicken can be very persistent when she wants to nest on your bed.
Dark is very dark. Indoors you can't see your fingers in front of your face.

The night sky is unfathomably beautiful and the stars are vast.
The acacia tree is the tree we know as the African icon.
Watching the sun rise behind an acacia tree is the best way to start a day.
The people are beautiful.
The adults are more fun to teach than the children.
It is possible for dirt to stain toenails.
Drinking water is a treasure
A starting time is a suggestion and classes usually start at least an hour after the set time.
There are more fruits than I ever knew.
Pineapple is sweeter and juicer in Africa.
There are so many types of bananas you could have a different type each day of the week
Deep fried sweet bananas are better than the best banana bread.
Skirts are actually very comfortable in the hot weather.
Spiders' eyes glow in the light of a flashlight, and there are A LOT of them out there
Mosquito nets are kind of cozy over your bed.
The men are true gentlemen.
The African fabric market is a field trip of colors and patterns.
I can drink coffee black
Oh yeah, people in Africa have colds too. Next time bring more Airborne
I could live in Uganda---well, at least at the Canaan farm.
