Chapati Chapati

Yesterday was a great day. We woke up kinda early and took the two new Lithuanian exchange students to the market to get their bed nets, buckets, etc. They don't know ANY Swahili. I mean, I am not an expert, but I can't imagine coming here without any language training, or even plans to take language classes! Then we went to the orphanage for the morning and the women there taught us how to make chapati, the best breakfast food here. It is basically like really good naan bread. It is quite a process. They roll out the dough it 4 different steps to add air and oit to make it fluffy. It is amazing. In the evening, a few of us went to check out a concert downtown, but decided not to enter since it was about $20 and we didn't know the bands or anything. Instead, we just hung out at a local bar for a while, which was fun, too.

I will write more soon.

i made chapatis on our grill last week! seriously, weird. i didn't roll them in any special way to make them fluffy and they were whole wheat and i got the recipe out of the new york times, so you'll have to teach me the ways of chapati when you return, and for that, i am quite excited. i miss my person...
