Just got off the phone with Dani. I am supposed to meet her in Ethiopia then travel through Kenya to meet Roni in Uganda to volunteer at the orphanage there. Sounds like she (Dani) is really sick. 102.5 F fever and rising. Not sure what she has yet, but the doctor got there as I was on the phone. She is going to the hospital and I hope she will be all right.
That being said, it looks like I will be on my own now in Ethiopia. Thinking about what I want to do. Thought it would be nice to be with a friend for a bit before breaking off on my own, but I guess I will be jumping into the deep end on this one! Her illness got me a little more worried about mosquito bites, as there is a good chance that she is infected from them. Looks like I will go to town today to get a long sleeve shirt and some high percentage DEET to ward off the little buggers. Break the bank a bit, but dont want to get sick! More to come...
