First day "off" in my village

On my day off, I "slept in" until 7 am, took a shower, ate breakfast (a semi-hard boiled egg, bread, and chai), swept and mopped my floor and the hall, washed my clothes (with the help of mama), took a siesta from 11 to 12 (too hot to do anything), helped cook lunch and dinner, ate an orange, had lunch (a beef broth soup, then ugali with machicha, a spinach-like dish), then spent hours learning Swahili words with a friend of a neighbor who is in town. From what I understand, he brought his friend via motorcycle from town today so he could make a proposal. I'm pretty sure it went well.

Heat, chopping vegetables, stiff and fresh clean sun-dried laundry.

More Swahili words than I can remember right now.

Good company.
Goodnight.
