ON AFRICAN TIME...

Today we woke up to no power, which meant no water, which also meant no toilets! We also couldn't boil water for tea, or have anything warm for breakfast. Later on we went into town, which is always an adventure as the roads are very scary. They are in very bad condition, and the drivers are HORRIBLE. Rules are not really followed and there are a lot of horns honking all the time. We went to get data put on our phones and that also turned into a huge ordeal. Yesterday we began the process and decided to come back today as it was going to take hours. When we arrived today, Gerry's phone was ready to go but mine still had not been registered. The guy told me 5 or 10 minutes to wait, but an hour later I was still sitting there. FINALLY, we got it all sorted and the best part is that tonight I got to Skype with my lovely Grade 5 students at Hazelgrove whom I miss already. Now that I am connected to the world again, I can keep in touch on a regular basis, so all the waiting was well worth it. Just a reminder of how much our lives are so busy and not used to waiting for anything, whereas here, there is nothing else to do so no one is in much of a hurry to do anything!!!
