Kinsey was trying to update her blog. Had it typed up on her flashdrive, but unfortunately the computer wouldn't open them. They are so slow over there.
I posted a new address for her. The other address is at the captial, she will still get them, just will take longer. It is about 6 1/2 hrs away, and she doesn't get there very often.
She said teaching is slow, but going well. Her classes are pretty similar to those in the US. You've got your good students and your class clowns. Just a different language. She is also teaching the school board/superintent office people twice a week for about 2 hours. They know lots of vocabulary, but need practice speaking. They write up lots of dialogues and practice them over and over.
She was able to watch the new President Elect give his acceptance speech live! It was around 8 a.m. in Madagascar. She didn't get to vote. Her absentee ballot arrived on Fri. Oct 31th.
Besides the scorpion bite she has had sand fleas in the bottom of her feet. They burrow down into the skin and lay eggs-then the skin turns hard and you have to dig them out! She said her feet hurt, but it is too hot to wear shoes or boots.
Has been warm at her site in the mid-80's rains every day, some times a little, some times all day.
She has gotten to see the Indian Ocean twice now.
She sounds good when we talk to her. It is so good to hear her voice and hear her laugh. She has limited cell phone access at her site, very limited so far we have called her twice adn she will say Hi, how she is doing and I don't know how long this will last....CLICK...... So hopefully that will get better soon so we can talk to her more than once a month.
She will be going to TANA(captial) Dec. 13th for more training. She will update her blog then.
She loves to get letters and really looks forward to it, so if you got a little time she would love to hear from you and it means so much to her.
