I'm really in Africa!!!

You know those moments that it just hits you all of the sudden and you think “Am I really here or am I just dreaming?” I had one of those moments yesterday afternoon. My roommate, Angela & I rode into town on our bikes. (BTW, I have a bike now... thanks to one of my friends who bought me one... it's not pink or fancy or new, but it works and it has a basket!) So, there I was, riding a bike (in a skirt of course) on the dirt roads of Nalerigu, maneuvering between goats, motorbikes & puddles, passing mud huts and children yelling, “Saliminga, Hello!” and it hits me, “Nothing about this screams normal, but it seems just normal now. I'm in Africa!” What an experience this has been!
