Big thanks to Rani and the LEF team for sending me cards and gifts for my birthday. It was so good to get them, I skipped for joy, which caused even more laughter from the locals about the crazy mzungu.
Thank you so much!!!!
A new addition to the hamster family. Jerome loved it. Also - some fresh underpants. Everyone here loves how I say underpants, but are not sure about me wearing them on the outside. I was nicknamed Captain Pants.
...
Here are my two cards. (sorry you have to turn your head.) Rani's card was hand made and included glittering stars. I have been dropping them all over town. The kids love it. :~) Inessa, note the Fugel badge that hangs in my room - it is art.

This is the hamster (which needs a name Ro?) with the thanksgiving turkey. It was a pumpkin with origami, but it was better than nothing. Kathey, I ate pumpkin pie!!! Nathan - I ate apple pie!!!
...
Thanks again everyone.
Yay! I'm so glad you got your pressies and are entertaining the locals with them.
Skipping around in underpants, carrying a singing hampster... I'm not so sure you are giving the western world a good name Mr Mzungu?
Bruce, Pink & Miguel brainstormed names for their new family member in the bored room for 30 minutes. The best they came up with was 'Happy Little Cock' (they swear it was meant affectionately). I didn't go into the inappropriateness given both the location of the hampster whose name is in question and of course the sex (it is a hen I think). Perhaps the African kids can come up with a more suitable name?
(I promise to make Pink behave herself better in future)

Mate, looking a little skinny. Assimilating I guess.
There is no surf here.
Have fun.
