So whats new?

I live in africa; i feel like i should always have the most fantastic postings here, full of advernture, humor, life lessons. well, i have quickly come to that time overseas where life just becomes life and there aren't so many extremes - so much confusion, so much learning, so much new.

now i wake up, i go to work, i hang out with friends, i go to bed with some type of variation on these simple themes. ok, maybe our guards beat a snake to death in our front yard, and yes, we have bats in our ceiling. oh, did i mention the termites... again. but other than that, life seems oddly and comfortably normal.

ann and i did host a wonderful african dance workshop at our house last weekend. i think that i have mentioned co-teaching an african dance class in lilongwe (i still cannot say that with a straight face!) with Shombi, and his group of 12 came to our house and led a workshop with about 8 of our friends. it was a beautiful exchange, not to mention the perfect day outside!

so please don't find me boring. i will try to eat something gross in the next few weeks to spice it up for you! keep you coming back. until then.....

ps - isn't my yard so beautiful!
