You are doing a fantastic job on your b...Hi Alyssa,<br />You are doing a fantastic job on your blog and I know I am only one of many who LOVE reading it! So don't apologize! While for you it may seem boring and mundane to write about nothing much happening in the village, to us it is a window into a world which I doubt most of us could ever imagine. <br /><br />So, here's my first question . . . you didn't say anything about getting sick today. So that means you survived drinking the tap water juice without any real harm, right? <br /><br />I'm glad you're beginning to feel better about things. After I read your post when you first returned from the village, I called your mom to make sure you were just going through a period of questioning (not unexpected) but were really okay. She reassured me and your more recent blogs have set my mind at ease. Keep up the good work my dear. We're very proud of you!Aunt Dianenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1171370153810017375.post-63067593078965247342009-08-29T00:03:10.826+00:002009-08-29T00:03:10.826+00:00Actually the big bats eat fruit... it's the li...Actually the big bats eat fruit... it's the little ones, about the size we get in Michigan, that eat insects.<br />I swear I didn't know that offhand. Really. OK that's a lie, this is why I'm a bio major.<br /><br />Glad things are getting better. I doubt it was all a phone high (though having means of communication always makes you feel less trapped). My money's on you feeling more comfortable after the project presentations and the promise of purpose that they hold. <br /><br />I have a question about agriculture and general environmental interaction. There is well supported speculation that the leading cause of the sahara/sahel expanding is domesticated goats (I could explain why but I honestly doubt you care). But any way my questuion is what is the human/environment interaction like closer to the coast? do people keep subsistence gardens or get everythng from the market? that kind of thing.<br /><br />...you did ask for questions.Ananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1171370153810017375.post-14164292157632677442009-08-28T18:37:57.251+00:002009-08-28T18:37:57.251+00:00Alyssa,
Keep up the good work on the blog and you...Alyssa,<br /><br />Keep up the good work on the blog and your language skills. Things appear to be looking up and the light at the end of the first tunnel is coming soon. While Matt is a space and heads up guy, my guess is his next question will be toward the earth and the toilet facilities. Full indepth graphic discussion is not required. Have fun and don't attempt to break what must be a record of 103 books in a year, unless See Dick Run et al counts.<br /><br />DadDadnoreply@blogger.com
