October 9, 9:17 pm (Kamakwie UTC -1:00)

So I made it safely to Kamakwie after a long arduous 7ish hour trek across the country, the roads were so awful I think I am suffering brain damage from all the bouncing. But I’m here and the people have been nice. I met two of my students, Abu and Abdul. Abu wants to call me Mr. R.W.B. for some reason, I think he thinks it cool cause I said he can and he goes by A.K.K. among his friends, I don’t know for sure though. Sitting here in the dark because our two hours of evening electricity is over, so I don’t want to stay on too long so I don’t run down my laptop since for now they are only going to have the evening two hours of electricity, the two in the morning won’t come till later when more people have come here. I’m feeling a lot better, Abu and Abdul are really nice and want to show me around at some point. I miss everyone a lot and while I don’t think that will go away I am at least doing better now that I’ve met some people. It’s crazy hot here, it’s only in the 80s but the humidity is almost that high as well. My little house is nice but the bugs are going nuts over my candles and computer screen. Anyway, I will write more later.
