grrr...

so annoyed with myself because after reallizing that posting the long blog entry i just wrote was taking a really long time and copying it so i wouldn´t lose it, my tendency to multitask got the best of me and i hit ctrl+C to copy another link and lost everything i´d spent the last hour writing. so in summary...

i took lots of pictures in florianopolis on a boat trip that was really fun. here´s the link: http://picasaweb.google.com/emilyrindone/Florianopolis

amazing dance show in joinville - i even took the time to translate the description from the program because it was so unique. here´s the website for the dance company if you´re curious. http://www.quikciadedanca.com.br/index800.htm

i´ve gotten sicker since i got to curitiba and got some antibiotics today. spent most of the day on a boring train ride to Paranaguá that lonely planet recommended instead of exploring beautiful curitiba and am annoyed that i spent $63 (twice what the guide book said it would be) on a ride i didn´t enjoy that much, and then still had to buy a $5 bus ticket home. at least i had a good lunch in the random city they dropped us off in.

i´m taking a bus to Sao Paulo tonight to spend the next 3 days with Flavia´s family, and am very excited about that.

i realize that my grumpiness is enhanced by my sickness, and that one disappointing day out of the 26 i´ve been traveling is a pretty great statistic.

i am wondering if Maroon 5´s new album is as popular in the States as it is here, because i´ve heard one of their songs every time i´m near a radio both here and in Argentina.

In any case, it's been hanging out at a friend's house the past few years, and he's made use of it whenever he's come to Nairobi on holiday. Yesterday in his search to find a house to rent during his tenure as my project's manager, he found a house he might like to buy. It's somewhere southwest of point B on the map below - i.e., very off road. View Larger Map He asked if I'd like to accompany him for a second visit, and I gladly accepted. This is the house next door to the one he might buy (and his inspiration for renovations): From Nairobi, take 2 and this is the view from there, complete with giraffe: From Nairobi, take 2 (can you see it?) So good to get out of the city for a bit. This was the view on the way back to the hotel: From Nairobi, take 2 Pretty clo...

The Kenya office has an office assistant named Derek who's job it is to bring us all tea or coffee when we arrive, and at an appointed time in the afternoon. I can't get used to it. He's a sweetheart, though.
