| Our frog friend on our door grates. He/she had really cool red legs. |
This Hannah often eats rocks, mixed in with the beans or
rice or bread. (or sand or dirt or ants)
This Hannah often thinks she’s tan, but it’s really just the
dust that comes from living far away from any cement infrastructure.
This Hannah often trips over rocks embedded in the dirt
road. Or falls in the holes in the really old “sidewalk” in the nearest city. And subsequently…
This Hannah often gets laughed at by large groups of people.
This Hannah often does laundry, sometimes just to get the
very stubborn dirt/dust combo out from under her nails.
This Hannah often needs new clothes because Africa is where
clothes come to die. When buying these
new clothes…
This Hannah often thinks that over $4 for any item of
clothing is expensive and rethinks the purchase.
This Hannah often deludes herself into thinking that a hot
bucket bath is as good as a hot shower.
So. These are some things that the Mozambican version of
myself does. Only time (and a triumphant
return to the homeland) will tell if I will continue to eat rocks, be tan, and
trip (okay I will definitely keep tripping over things).
