Cody Feb 2
Today, I woke up really late because I didn’t get such a good sleep. So Mom and Terry went into town and I just kept sleeping. When they got back, I was pretty hungry so me and Mom went to the Tour Africa Cafe. I got the chapatti with the vegetables that we always get and they even brought one for Mom, even though she didn’t ask for it. When we were done eating we had to hustle a little bit because we were supposed to meet someone at the Rotary high school. So we took a bodaboda down there and met up with Terry and the person we were meeting, I can’t remember her name. So we went into the principals’ office and talked about the school, like how many students were there, the new computers they got, and we also talked about the free public schools and how Rotary High was loosing money because the kids wanted free education. So we looked at the computer room, the form 4s and the form 3s, and there was an English class going on with the form 2s and they only had 7 people in that class. I have like 30 kids in all my classes so I thought that was pretty funny. Another thing was that they had a soccer field, but on the field there were cows eating it up. So the field looked pretty bad because the cows ate all the grass on it. So after the tour of the school, I took a bunch of pictures of everybody and of the signs, and then we left. Terry wanted to check out the prison, so we did. It didn’t look like they had it locked down very well; I think I could’ve escaped in like 20 seconds. Terry took some pictures, even though I don’t think he was supposed to. On the way back to… where ever we were going, we walked through this mini-market. The one thing that stood out the most was that some of the people were cooking fish and it looked NASTY! They cooked the crap out of it, and the ones that weren’t cooked yet had flies all over them. I would never have even smelled it, it looked so bad. So we quickly walked past and we went to the Cyber Cafe for a couple minutes before going to meet up with Patricia to go to a stupid Rotary meeting. So we got in Patricia’s car and were on our way to the meeting. The road was terrible, as always, and on the way we saw our first Kenyan runner. He was in shorts and everything. Another thing we saw on the way was some guys doing some road work, and they didn’t have any machines. It was all hand made roads. I think that’s why they were so terrible. Anyways, when we got to the meeting, we sat down and they handed us drinks, like they do at all the meetings we’ve been to. But they also gave us some ground nuts/peanuts. But they were warm this time and they were delicious. Another thing was that the meeting didn’t even suck that bad. I didn’t have to give one of my mini-speeches or anything, and the president of that specific rotary club was pretty funny, and it didn’t take like 5 hours. It was by far the best meeting I’ve been too. We had to leave before it got dark so I think we cut the meeting a bit short and we were on our way back to our house. When we got home, we sat down and decided to watch one of our 72 movies. We decided on Bourne Identity, because I’ve never seen the whole thing before, and it was pretty gangtsta. After the movie, I brushed my teeth, put in my headphones, and went to sleep.
