Second day

This morning the kids got up at 5:30. Being in their house I heard them and woke up. I dosed in bed till 7. I got up and went to one of the guest houses to have breakfast. When I got the to house breakfast was not ready so I sat in a chair and drank my water. The cook asked me, "Do you drink often?" I said "Yes, I drink often." I thought she was just talking about staying hydrated. But then she started setting out stuff for coffee. I realized I had heard her wrong. She had asked "Do you drink coffee?" Well now I was in a pinch.

The cook had walked out to get something, so while she was out I poured a couple of sips of hot water into the mug, added a tiny amount of instant coffee and two spoon fulls of sugar. I was sipping my "coffee" when she came back in. Even with such a tiny amount of coffee in it I could still taste it. And it was nasty. You're not getting me to drink coffee. Breakfast was eggs and pineapple. I ate allot of pineapple and had a few eggs. The eggs tasted like kiesh, which is the only way I ate so many.

After breakfast I walked up with a bunch of the kids to the school, the lab is up there. Daddy had the key to the lab and doesn't eat breakfast so he was going to go up to the lab before I got there. He wasn't there though. He woke up early, like 1-ish, and was up for a while so he slept till 8. I walked back to the house to wait for daddy and talked with kids as they walked to school.

We went up to the lab and I did a couple of things to the computers in preparation for putting in a proxy. Daddy talked with Herbert, the computer guy here, about adding this system. The proxy is a great idea for VOH because it will limit the total amount of Internet you can use. So everyone will go at the same speed, and you don't use up my share of the Internet. It will also do some copying so that there is an little direct Internet connection as possible.

On the way to lunch it started to rain, it rained harder than it did last time we were here. After a great lunch of pizza, we walked back to the lab. I tried, and tried to get a connection to blogger to start writing. Finally I got blogger working a wrote some but then the power went out at 2:20. WAWA. (West Africa Wins Again) Of course we weren't going to have power the whole time...

I stepped outside to talk with the kids. They were having a break. I talked for a long time with them. I also read with some of the kids in the library, that was fun. Then they had to go, so I packed up my things and walked to the guest house and saw a snail. It was really big. Some of the kids came to see what we were looking at. They said that snails were good meat, and told us all about how to cook them. They took it home with them, so enjoy the picture.

While we were waiting for dinner, we had left the lad early since there was no power, daddy did some things on his computer and I did some school work. Then we both worked on a sudoku.

Dinner was very good. After dinner there is a teen devo that we went to. They were doing lessons about how to be leaders. During the devo the light came back on. After the devo we walked back to the house to get our things and on the steps there was a frog. There was a frog on the porch, in the grass, almost under my feet, they were everywhere. I talked with some of the girls while I waited for daddy, and now we're up at the lab. And there goes the power....
