Once again during the day things happened and I kept thinking 'man i've got to blog about this!' and now i can't remember what i wanted to say!  So...until I remember...here are some pictures!
On Friday nights a group of people goes to a local school to play Ultimate Frisbee.  I didn't play tonight, i just took pictures and watched.  However, some of the kids found me and were entranced by my hair.  The girls insisted on playing and braiding it, the boys asked if i would give some of my hair to them.  I got three marriage proposals while there! The typical question is "are you married? No? Will you marry me? I love you!"  I think they want to leave Africa so they try to marry you.  Pretty funny considering the boys were all like 13 years old.
In process

The finished product of my hair :)

Ultimate Frisbee

within about 2 minutes the sky had suddenly become overrun with these dark rain clouds.  I just managed to catch a picture before the whole sky was gone.
 Swimming lessons! I'm finally getting the chance to put up pictures of swim lessons!  Today lessons went so much better.  The ocean was very calm today so we actually got to learn and practice some things. yay!







Last we have salsa dancing pictures from the other night.  it was a lot of fun!  However, since it's hard to take pictures of yourself dancing, there are none of me actually dancing (yet. i still have to find the girl who did take pictures of me dancing).


You can't see it but the ocean is behind us.  It's a lovely sight.
Perhaps if i remember what I wanted to say I will post something later tonight.
