-After just 8 days in Africa, I have already suffered through and recovered from my first bout with digestive issues. To make a long story short (and less disgusting), I threw up in a church of all places. Everyone took very good care of me and I have had countless checks on my health today from many people.
-I was able to make it to a wedding celebration yesterday evening where I was able to see drumming groups playing and dancing with the guests out in public. It's interesting to see how the lightheartedness of the occasion is universal, no matter what style of ceremony, music, or culture. It was also entertaining to see the varying personalities come out in those who took turns dancing. There were definitely those who liked to show off and just be goofy.
-Last Friday I had the chance to see the Youth Home Cultural Group rehearsing their dancing and drumming routine. I think I will return soon to be instructed on how to participate. More on that surely to come (likely with some ridiculous pictures of me trying to dance).
