Today was a good day. I'm so tired, I hardly remember any of it. Cold shower this morning, breakfast at the guest house, orientation this morning at the town office. We had a "proper" cup of tea at the orientation, where we learned about the history of Rhodesia/Zimbabwe, the Shona culture, finances, bartering, religion, and language mistakes. We also had sadza and muriwo (meat) for lunch. It was delicious! And filling. We tried the cherry plum soda, which was yummy. And fried caterpillars. Gross.

This afternoon, we went to
Billy's for a month's worth of meat (30 kgs!!!) Dinner was at an American Style dinner, with pictures of Elvis and Marilyn Monroe on the walls. I had a Deano's Cheeseburger, which was a 200g (~1/2 lb) cheeseburger with cheese cooked into the middle. I even managed to eat it after picking off onions and tomatoes.

When we returned, we saw the Southern Cross. After a long ended sessions, during which we all almost fell asleep, its time for bed.
