There are two stories I wanted to write about in my last post yesterday but forgot:
1- Yesterday after work while we were walking back I bought a little baggy full of coconut milk and coconut meat for less than 50 cents. It was delicious and extremely refreshing. I bought it off the side of the street and just poked a hole in the bag to suck out the agua de coco.
2- Two days ago Jordon and I got back to our host house and unlocked the door to the house (no one was home) and the loudest craziest alarm ever started going off. We just stood there not knowing what to do. After what felt like awhile our neighbor came over to turn off the alarm. After she had put a stop to the siren she introduced herself and asked our names in extremely fluent English. She was Honduran and I had assumed she would greet us in Spanish so for a wonderful split second I thought that she was speaking Spanish and I had become completely fluent because I understood her so easily.

ReplyDeleteAndrew, I love your second story about the alarm, and have repeated it several times. One thing I love about traveling in Kenya is that almost everyone is fluent in English! I really admire your taking this trip and your progress toward becoming fluent in Spanish. Love, Grandma K
