...and there was no power. Well thought I'd give it a shot, but alas the monastery is still without power. I am writing this from the cyber-café in Karà on the 13th of September, but you will not see it until the 17th. Basically this is just to inform everyone that I am working as hard as I can to get up to date on the blog because it is difficult to remember everything that is happing along with everything that has happened in the past. I feel like I al living in a parallel dimension and it's driving me insane!
In other news I just convinced Facebook that I am in fact in Africa, so that will also be a way to contact me if you so deseire. And as I have been asked by a few people, the Husker flag is flying high in Togo! And while I have had some success in describing College Football to some of the monks here, I feel that I have failed my team in explaining the mascot... *Conversation with a monk (paraphrased)* So here is my team (showing him the page on NU in my magazine) and their mascots/emblem are the Cornhuskers! "What's that," he asks me. So I try to explain to him in French what a Cornhusker is and said that they probably don't have a word for it in French. He told me they did, it was "servant". I got him to revise it to "servant of the corn," but it just doesn't do the team jsutice!
Thought I would share that with you in hopes that by the time you read it I will have had time to put up a few more scheduled posts! But if not, GO HUSKERS beat them Huskies!! Oh and I may have found a way to wathc the Texas game online, BOOYAH!
