facts of life

Well, some interesting facts about this part of Africa.......
This is beginners Africa so things are more modern than most of the rest of Africa.
We have cell phones, because the landlines often do not work.
We have TV, very very bad TV if you do not have satellite. I do not.
We have no chocolate chips(oh, the inhumanity) but have different flavored potato chips. Okay,this requires examination. In the States we have some sort of strange chips like ketchup flavored and dill pickle flavored. Here we have, are you ready?
Chutney flavored
BEEF flavored
peri peri chicken
black olive and garlic--yup that I bought
Today I saw LAMB and mixed herb flavored.
The best was the day I saw Peking Duck flavored crisps. Listed as one of the ingredients--duck powder. You figure it out, I will not.

Now, i will tell you that the beef and chicken down here are the best I have ever had. The vegetables are wonderful and everything is usually so fresh. There are lemon and grapefruit trees in our yards, along with mangoes and papayas.
Life here is so different, and amazing. I am blessed.
