so i am back in the whole in the ground computer cafe in rosso for some more health training. i saw my mom caught you up a bit already so i will just elaborate. i am in Boumbry and when i say my family only speaks Hassanaiyan(arabic dialect) I mean that they cannot even read Hassanaiyan unless it is written in Arabic letters so i am working on that too. right now i speak hassafranglish which is kind of cool to have so many languages being thrown around with such different people and to understand each other. pretty exciting. sand dune races were fun, if you can ignore the goat poopmine fields. it is funny that you cannot eat with your left hand but that they can play with goat poop with their right hands and still eat with it. gross. i guess there really is notmuch to do for entertainment in the desert. biddi (my teacher) said that when women are bored they "make baby" which is why some women have 12 kids. can you imagine being pregnant for 10 years of your life.
We had 3 big thunderstorms, which means that all of the local goats, chickens, dogs, flies, cockroaches; etc came into my room to seek shelter. i am like the snow white of the desert. the cockroaches are huge, sounds like people are walking around my room at night. good thing i have my tent. they are not as big as the camel spiders though, which are just as they sound; huge.
i turned down the kid who begged for annas hand in marriage, but there are tons of camals just wandering around and the babies are sooo cute so it is tempting. haha. there are also lots of long horned cows wandering. i think the most annoying animal is the rooster. i would love to drop kick one. it crows from 3 am until 1 in the afternoon.
so it was dark one night when we were eating at 11 pm and i took a bite of i thought goat and it was chewy and kept chewing without dissolving and so i just freaked out and swallowed but when i threw it up the next day it was a fully intact piece of artery. ,y sto,ache did not agree and i have been sick for 2 days. i have to go now, so much more to say tonite.

DAPHNE SAYS:
I think you should let the boy marry Anna for a camel. Why would you say no if baby camels are so cute? I am getting a new room. My mom and I are going shopping today for my new room. I want a monkey theme. Can you trade Kevin for a monkey for me, PLEASE?
Love,
Daphne
p.s. I miss you!
Don't get bored Jaime Lyn!
Jaime I am really enjoying your blogs. It must be wonderful to be knowing so many different ways and people. I told your mom that the thing I worry about the most is that yhou may get bored so I see she mentione that. See how well we know you. Miss you and love you G-ma
I am quite offended that the secon everyone gets the chance to get rid of me yall jump at it. The cammels cant possibly be as cute as me, especially in the morning. My breath is better for sure and i dont spit. Also my cleanliness is for sure waaayy better.
We miss you jai but the chances if me visitin your bathroom-less country are getting slimmer....

Jaime....you ROCK!!! I am keeping up with your blog every day. I love hearing everything except about "food," can't handle that! We are so proud of you!
P.S. I can offer up your Uncle Pat to the barter for exotic animals!
Love ya, Auntie Lisa
i don't really understand how you can accidently eat an artery...i mean, doesn't someone go through the goat and get rid of that stuff before you cook it? if not, maybe you guys should...just a little piece of advise. have fun being snow white...watch out for bloody tails!
