Tums please?

Cungalupo! Thanks to everyone for all the posts! Andi- no fowl sightings yet. Andrew- i actually was thinking about my blow gun and how practical it would be here just yesterday. So i am just getting over my first (of many to come) stomach virus of zambia. I spent many hours leaning over the icimbusu (toilet) the past several days. I have a feeling that my host family thinks i am trying to make friends with the bathroom as they see me running from my hut to my bathroom every thirty minutes! Good news though, i am getting better and i ate food today for the first time since the kennedy administration without vomiting. In other news, i passed my first language test! I wish i had a refridgerator to put my score up on! I also want to tell everyone gearing up fro class starting soon that im thinking of you and wishing you all the best this upcoming semester. As billy madison once said, "do it mano e mano". I continue to get closer and closer with my host family. The language barrier has decreased a bit as my language skills have gotten better (or maybe my hand motions are just getting more precise). Also our peace corps training class is bonding nicely. We all are becoming more comfortable with each other, which is good considering we all are leaning on each other for support. Tomorrow we get to speak to a group of zambiams living positively with aids. It will be an exciting and emotional day im sure. Thanks for the continued comments and thoughts!
