:we eat like kings:

so i know that most of you out there were probably a bit worried about my eating habits while away. and to tell you the truth some days i eat more than others. however tonight was one of my favorite nights when it comes to the art of eating.

let me just give you a little taste of what we had:
--fool(beans and cheese and oil and some other stuff that i don't know what it is...
--fish(all smashed up. had a weird texture to it...
--cow feet( the best soup i have ever had..

to top it all off.

--sheep liver(probably the best dish i have had since i have been here...

so those of you who were worried about me having something to eat
you can worry no more
cause when you are here

"you eat like kings"

swimming with gators...

remember watching the croc hunter(he is no long with us) swim with the alligators in the nile. it seemed so dangerous and exiting.

well yesterday i was able to do just that.

a few of us went out to a small village for a little cook out. it reminded me of the old days grilling under the car porch. however the highlight of the night was not the cookout, though it was good. the highlight was when we went for a little dip. since moving to this part of the world i have never felt so good. the water was amazing.

...if only i could go swimming with gators everyday...

...i'm living the life...

:can't sleep:

...i'm having one of those nights where everything in your body wants to sleep, but when you close your eyes suddenly there comes this burst of energy.
...so it's 4:30 in the morning (for you at home thats 8:30pm) and all i want to do is start the day. however this is not what baffles me...what baffles me is that there will come a time, somewhere in the mid afternoon when all i will want to do is lay down in my bed and sleep-------------why does my body do this to me? why won't it just listen to me? Why? i'll tell you why..........B/C that would just make to much sense...

goodnight...at least i hope.
