Funny quote: “Car with lots of stuff on it, honking like crazy, and driving like a mad man – it means someone just got married” -MB

Had Hawaiian pizza yesterday - oh man was it expensive to get a pizza compared to local food here, but I felt bad because MB wanted pizza, and I didn’t want to say no. But maybe I made up that money by eating bread with eggs today – apparently it’s a common staple food here. I LOVE plantains!!! Perhaps that will become my staple .

The place I’m staying at is actually very nice! There’s electricity from 7-10 (or when we really need it), and there’s internet when we put in the little mobile modem. It’s so cool – almost like a little phone that has internet – whatever that’s called. But it’s super slow, so checking email takes forever.

Wow, it’s pretty cool to actually see the physical works of Dr. Manary and his Project Peanut Butter (PPB) pan out! Got to see the factory and the machine – can’t wait to see the clinics! Entering data is boring as usual, but it’s really cool to see the weights of the children increasing on those data cards! We also recently got an email from a physician working in another town saying that the UNICEF supply of Plumpy Nut failed to get to them, so they’re interested in getting it from PPB – kinda exciting that we’re needed!

Had oatmeal chocolate chip cookies today!!! Yes…it was from a bag from 2007, but it was delish!
