So there is a running discussion as to what is the bush. People on the race and Africa in general talk about the bush, and we are not sure if we are there. We have been told we are too far in the “city” to be in the bush, but lets take a look at our life in the big city….
1. sleep indoors – okay, but honestly tents would be better. We have no air flow and no air conditioning and so sleeping temp runs around 90 degrees, wish I was exaturating. Hot sleeping temps are bound to be bush esq.
2. Dinner is killed 15 minutes before we eat it – If this is not bush I dont know what is. Note to all future African visitors, don’t name the chickens running around where you live, because you may find out you are eating him/her one night
3. No electricity – check
4. No running water – check
5. Bathroom is a whole in the earth- check
6. Walk EVERYWHERE – check
So I don’t know what these Bush requirements are, but I just find it hard to think we are that far off.
Another note to future Africa visitors: Febuary is the middle of summer, best to come in June or July when its not 105 everyday, just a recommendation.
Things are going well, please be in prayer for Beks, as she has not just malaria, or just typhoid, but both. Easier said than done to catch both at the same time. Miss everyone back home.
