Day 11-13: Cats and Monkeys?
July 7, 2008
I got sick yesterday. I’m fighting a flu thing sort of.
I’m really tired and loopy. I slept 12 hours last night.
Here are some quick hits:
-They have monkeys instead of squirrels.
-Carol owns three cats, but they don’t quarrel with the monkeys.
-Chickens also roam around the parking lot. I don’t know if they quarrel or not.
-The monkeys live in a three story mango tree growing in the parking lot outside the flat.
-I stepped in monkey poo.
-I went to a village an hour north of Mombassa to where Malcolm and his family used to live for 10 years. Bush, people, the bush.
-I road a ferry over the Indian Ocean.
I need to go back to bed.
I hope you feel better soon. Remind me to tell you the story Janice told me about squirrels…well, no maybe not!
I would think monkeys have the potential to be more annoying than squirrels.
Hope you feel better soon!
Will you bring me back a monkey?
I hope you feel better!
Do you know that malaria feels a lot like the flu? That is little bit of trivia that may come in handy… I think it takes about 10 days to incubate.
wow, bruce. that helps!!!!
Maybe Bruce’s name should be Doomy instead! :0)
Get better yo!
Cant believe you are in Africa…
Just a follow-up on Bruce’s comment. It would be a good idea to check out the malaria angle, but caught early enough, it is quite treatable. (Bruce has had it a couple of times). Normally though, malaria is not found in higher altitudes like Nairobi). I lived in Nairobi for 6 years without taking medication to prevent it and never had it.
You might be sick, but your list still ended on an odd number…
just got 100% caught up. Feel better man!
I hope you feel better. I would like to exchange the squirrels in my backyard for the monkeys where you are. I will be sending them in a package. Please send me the monkeys.
Your blog is fabulous! I’ve been a bit behind, so I read about half of it in one sitting and it totally makes me miss Liberia. I envy the way you can process and describe your experiences so eloquently. Thanks for taking the time to share…
I met a man in Central Market-Plano from Kenya. It said so on his namebadge in typical CM fashion. I told him I had a friend in Kenya. He ask me why and where you were. Then he said, “So when will you go and see the things he has seen?”
I loved that.
