i tried to make fudge, bubling cocoa and sugar. It still tasted sweet but had a more toffee consistancy then the melt in my mouth; perfect, which i had grow a custom to while living with Erin in Kenya. i miss her insight, music and company but i know she is with me where ever i go. it seems strange to me that both roomates i have had while living in East africa nearly 8 months have gotten malaria, Erin and Johanna. In memory of months past i had my first malaria test because my new roomie was getting fevers and chills and is now taking pills to kill the 2 types of parasites inside her blood. my test came out negative, I am healthy and strong, ready to stay in Africa for another found. The doctor used the torch (flashlight) from his cell phone to look inside my ears and mouth, then i got my finger pricked. all in a very nice, clean hospital down the road from my house called TMJ, with total cost of 5000tsh = approx 5$. Last nite, I ate sushi at a fancy mzungu place called the slipway, with my Kiwi pilot pals (PICTURED) who informed me that the tourist season starts today, june 1. happy day!

borrowed bike, failed fudge and no malaria
i borrowed Adriano's (askari =guard) bike and rode to a going-away dinner for Tony, Eric & Matt ( a gaggle of studly dudes from the land of the "winning side of capitalism") I ate mishikakti ( meat on a stick), chipsi mayai ( an omlette with french fries in it) drank ndovu ( elephant) lager, then rode back home- stopping at rose garden bar, which has cement sculptures of animals among a beautiful green jungle with patio chairs. some friends in a cab followed me using their headlight to lite the way at about 2am. I felt safe, with my escort but also very free as i watched my tall shadow pedal, up and down. riding a bicycle gives me wings.
