Let me describe my situation right now: I'm typing this with one hand on my phone, because my left hand is swaddled in a kanga. My mama insisted a third installment of henna application was necessary, so about half past six, in the fading light, I reapplied henna to the designs on my left hand. We moved inside as it got dark, my mama brought food from mama Fatuma's house, and I ate with one hand (which is pretty normal because it's considered rude to eat with your left hand, which is your choo or bathroom hand). Then I retired to my room, and since henna is most effective if you let it dry completely and then brush it off, my hand is now wrapped up to keep it from getting on my off-white bedsheets. So this is a little challenging to write. :)
Today was the rather uneventful last day of language classes. To think that we're done with that portion! Only two more days of wrapping up loose ends and presenting our community reports, then host family farewell, and we mobilize for swear-in and installation!
Rains on and off throughout the day. Dramatic skies behind hills and coconut trees.
