Never leave the Lemon on the Nile!

Week Three
This has been a great week filled with trips to town,
high water, and low water. Here are a few of the
highlights.
-Taxi to town to cash travelers checks- took four
banks
-Steak at Ozzies Café
-Dawn Patrol to Nile Special Wave
-Pull Up & Push Up contest between England & Me VS.
Peter from Finland(Peter Won)
-Crayons to the local kids & them showing me their
drawings at the wave each day
-Washing clothes in creek with the other workers from
Hairy Lemon
-Call from Mom and Dad
-Megan being here and everyone thinking we are sisters
-Nick Name for me “Back Surf Pants”
-We ran the day two section with Megan, James, Claire,
Jeremy, & me
-Jackson will be here tonight

The only real discomfort for me now are the titsy
flies. I am getting eaten alive and it is driving me
crazy. I have big red welts all over me. Even under
my chin. I have at least 50 bites and they are raised
and sore and about the size of quarters. I still
wanted to shut my eyes on the shuttle ride. It was
raining as I watched the huts without tin or concrete
floors turn from red dust to red mud pits. This is
the hardest part of being here.

Cheers from the Hairy Lemon, an island in the middle
of the mighty Nile- devo
