On day nine we picked up the car; we were told that we owed around $1000 if the car was damaged. After a few minutes with Babs behind the wheel, I was confident that we would be returning home $1000 poorer. The combination of my mother's normal, sketchy driving, my aunt's backseat driving, the normality of cow and goat crossing, the standard transmission, and the whole...opposite side of the road thing did not bode well. However, I am pleased to announce that we are two weeks in and accident free! So Kyle, we might just make it home with that $1000 for ya (:
Later Sam and I decided to take a jog at our neighborhood futbol field (a big dirt lot). While we were running, an African kid asked if he could join us. I was feeling good about our pace and enjoying the conversation when he said, "your pace is stupid...increase," at which point I fell behind while Sam, who had already run over a mile, kept pace. Please note that it is NOT because he is more athletic or in better shape than I am... someone had to take the picture!
