Trudy and Colleen arrived back mid morning. Colleen has been sick with a bacterial infection and went to the clinic in Arusha. She now has meds and is feeling slightly better, but has a lot of what I had and can’t really move without having her stomach cramp up. Meanwhile, Zach has a huge welt on his neck that we think is a bite of some sort. He’s had it for several days and we think it’s getting better but it’s hard to tell. It’s fairly large-probably the size of two silver dollars. And yesterday Shaye got a rash from holding a goat. Yep, that’s right, holding a goat. Apparently there was the cutest baby goat out in the field and she held it for a half an hour and now has a rash. Oh, and Karen’s eye is completely swollen. We don’t really know what happened there, but it’s been swollen for a couple of days now and sometimes she can’t really open it too well. And I have a mysterious scratch running all down my face. So, as you can tell, we are all extremely healthy here J I think that this just reiterates the fact that it is so easy to get sick here in Tanzania, and most of the time, you have no idea what the cause is.
Today has been pretty low key. With everyone gone in Arusha, there are very few people left here at camp. We spent the morning making decorations and then I worked on writing some post cards and journal entries. After lunch, James and I walked into town and now we are all just hanging out in the pavilion. It decided to be hot and sunny again today so we are all seeking refuge from the sun. I brought one of our mattresses into the pavilion for Colleen to lay on since it is so hot in the tent.
Anyway, that’s all for now. I’ll let you know how the Halloween bash goes!
