Let's take a long walk

Hello again friends!
I hope that you enjoyed the pictures on the last post. That is my life here. Today, I walked from my village to town. The walk actually started last night after dinner at Karine's house. We then walked to my house and slept until 5am, when we woke up and walked to Josh's house. From there we took 5.5 hours to walk in the mountains the 16 miles to town. It was hard, but fun, the mountains were lovely and the company was great. Once in town, we went to an Indian restaurant and I am going swimming at Mbale resort after this. Tough life, no?
Work has been going slowly, but I finally had a breakthrough on Friday when I was able to teach a class and have a question and answer session with about 12 mothers and fathers. I had a lot of fun with that and working at this health center so it runs a little better is my main project right now. I am still looking for other things to do, but it's hard when the people I work with are all volunteers in their own right and trying to feed their families. That can be a bit frustrating sometimes, but, that's what I am working with.
I had a great Thanksgiving with some friends here. We slaughtered (actually, josh slaughetered because I wussed out) 2 chickens. We roasted one and made a soup with the other. Both turned out wonderfully. We also had sweet potatoes with coconut milk, which was delicious and I suggest you try it. It was good to be around friends and it made the holiday not lonely, like I thought it would. Sure beats a 15 hour shift at 1789 with bratty families.
I hope everyone is well, I miss and love you all!
