Only in Africa

I don't have time to write much right now, but I promise to write a lot more in the next couple of days. In the mean time here are a few random things that have happened lately. Most of these things would be quite shocking in the US, but don't even seem unordinary here.

Nick's Minibus ran from the cops on his way back from Blantyre

A friend of mine had his wallet stolen from him at Cape Maclear, and then had his credit cards licenses sold back to him by a guy whose friend "found it" (more on my 2nd trip to Cape Maclear later)

I tried to put on my shoe this morning only to quickly pull back my foot and have a frog jump out. Luckily, I didn't put on my shoes too quickly. I wouldn't have appreciated an impromptu dissection; the frog certainly wouldn't have.
Normally I try to shake out my shoes, but after the 20th time of doing it and having nothing fall out I had gotten lazy. I guess I'll start doing that again.

No frogs in my shoes in Seattle, though I did once step on a frog down at the water in Cdga... in my bare feet.
GREAT STORIES, C-Note! I miss you so much!!!!

Wow, I can't believe that last comment wasn't Stu ripping on my grammar skills. I just reread the post and fixed the mistakes. Yipes, I made some bad ones.

Hey Conor ... just started reading your blog. Can you keep your shoes upside down? Maybe that will keep creep-crawlers from getting in!
