Two posts two days in a row?! Change of plans... we were supposed to head out to the village today but it has been POURING down rain and the 8 hour drive has already taken 6 1/2 hours and we still have 150 kilometers to go. We stopped at a hotel for dinner @ 9:30 and the decision was made that it is too dangerous to continue on tonight. We are going to be staying here tonight but don't have enough team funds to buy enough rooms. There is two double bed in each room and we only got three rooms (there are 12 teammates!). The boys get one room (3 people), one girls room has 4 people in it and the other has 5 people in it. It's going to be a really cozy night as we pushed the two beds together and are going to sleep all 5 of us in the beds!!! All of our luggage is piled on top of the bus so we will be sleeping in the clothes we've worn all day and then wearing them tomorrow as well. It might even resort to sharing toothbrushes!! On the up side... looks like I get another day of a shower! :) We will head out to the village at first light, it's now midnight and we are waking up @ 5:45am to get on the road. I got a whole three hours of sleep last night... looks like I will get 5 hours tonight! :) We will be staying in a 5 room house with a toilet! (No idea what kind of toilet but Ne (our host) said the word toilet!!! We are supposed to meet with the Chief tomorrow morning but we need to stop first and buy a bottle of Gin (turns out you are supposed to bring Gin to the chiefs!). Ne went over some of the customs here (like don't do ANTHING with your left hand and you have to speak to the chief through an interpreter (even if he is speaking english to you!). The bus is actually pretty comfortable and AIR CONDITIONED! Yipee!!!

I am absolutely LOVING it here!!! The teammates are AMAZING and I can't stop laughing! The food is good... takes about 2 hours to get it once you order... no fast food here! :) I am already growing and expanding... this group of people is REALLY friendly and although Andrea annoyed me yesterday, she was much more chill today. It's been a great journey thus far and am REALLY lookign forward to getting out to the village tomorrow! I wish I could write more but the teammates are all waiting for a chance @ the computer. I love and miss you all!!!
