My
blogs have been a little heavy lately, just wanted to lighten things up
a bit; Lisa and I were driving past the cows, goats, donkeys, monkeys,
pigs the other day, and that was just our drive way, and came up with
this list:

You know you have been in Africa to long when...

*A 7 inch lizard is crawling up your living room wall and your excited about it cuz at least the bugs are getting eaten!

*When, every day, you see multiple men peeing on the side of the road, in town, and it's just part of the scenery.

*A
two year old walking next to the hwy, in the middle of no where, all by
themselves and you are not shocked, you just wave and think how cute
they are…

*You
look forward to the "Swazi Sauna" an orphan asleep, lying on your
chest; you turn into a BIG mud bath - heat, sweat, boogers and mud, is
their anything better?!

*When you find the butter infested with ants and you just scrape them off and butter your toast!

*You are becoming enamored with the bars on the windows; you think the designs are pretty and unique.

*You see a strange dark face in the window, and they smile; you are not scared, you just realize you left the gate open!

*When the water is off in the whole city for the fifth day and no one cares!

*When you have 30 young adults on your living room floor in the morning and you just start making lots of

coffee…

*When you are peeing on the side of the road and it seems normal!

*The
goal is to hit all the speed bumps as fast as you can so your kids can
hit their heads on the roof! (That's true anywhere though)

*If you want fast food - it's chicken, or... chicken!

*When you will drive over three hours to see a movie at the "Local" theater.

*And when you ask a stranger on the side of the road to pose for a picture of the two of you pretending to pee, and he does it!
