ewan mcgregor is close!

sorry for the long delay in writting. had a great holiday with my mum, we saw lions and elephants and everyother animal immaginable! and i got to eat very english food in dar es salam...including a full all you can eat fry up! my first bacon in 6months! now back to village life and teaching. the primary school started this week, and seconday starts monday. we have just seen our targets at the office and with only six weeks of placement left we have 87% of secondary school lessons still to complete! could be an interesting few weeks!  after spending a week or so with lots of fellow volunteers the shock going back to vilage was almost as bad as when we first arrived, it was heightened by the lack of ANYTHING to do! but there was one thing that got me through the last week, and thats the knowledge that ewan mcgregor  (sorry for the spelling!) will be riding past my vilalge soon! how exciting! unfortunatly i got such an issolated vilage that  im 2-3 hours off the main road. but two of my fellow volunteers are on the main road, and are making signs like the "santa stop here" signs but with his name on, and offering free food! im so jealous, but i just think the idea of it is awsome, we are in the middle of africa in little tiny villages, with no contact with the outside world, yet a world famous actor will be riding right past me!

life continues as normal, spending all my day talking about sex, std's, hiv and other thoughrully pleasant topics, my kiswahilli is getting there slowley, but wouldnt say im fluent.
as usual miss timed my writing, as firstly ive run out of time on the compuer and secondly i chose to write just after the holday, so i havnt got much to say, but sure soon i will have some more info about volunteering rather than holidays and ewan mcgregor!
