good morning!

Hello!
So yesterday was great.. we woke up.. had avocados omelettes and coffee and then headed out to Bwiza. Karl and Olivia went to get the manure with the bwiza men, and i hung out with the woman that were around. i got more stories from them, took more pictures, of their houses, inside/outside, of the land, the kids etc. fun day.
I got a simple cold though. picked it up. so i passed out early last night like around 7pm and woke up around 6am. i needed the sleep. i feel better today. i also have medicine to stop my dripping nose. I am taking care of my self.. lots of apple juice, water, and sleep.
so today is bob's last day. he leaves at 9pm tonight. He is a professor at UW teaching IT/web stuff.. and he needs to get back to his classes. So today we will go be tourists. We are going to go to the us embassy and to the genocide memorial. we don't have a meeting at the us embassy but i just want to go and check it out as a citizen. see how they spend our money overseas :).. we are going to meet with some people from the us embassy/us aid on saturday night for a fancy dinner thing. i am making a presentation with pictures of the villages, their problems and resources and talk about how we can all work together to be the bridge for these people. and talk about how the most marginalized, poorest people are becoming invisible to aid. I will make the presentation probably later tonight and bring it on saturday just in case we have time to show them. Karl will actually do the presentation. I also want to know what america is doing to help get the kids in schools. i want to ask a lot of questions. i want to know what they are really doing. yes i want to put them through a lizzie audit. so who knows how that dinner will go. and if it will even be a chance to talk/discuss. i have no idea what to expect. or who will even be there. the most important thing though is that Karl discusses the pygmies in one way or another. And i know he will. hmm.. what else. i feel a lot better. i mean i am forever changed. but i feel good. like my heart expanded and i have more room in there now. it feels good.
Okay .. i got to get up out of bed and go do. :)

I LOVE YOU!!!
