I spoke with Dani for a minute after she saw the doctor. Turns out she has malaria. She got some pills that she has to take, but I am not sure if she will be able to make the trip to Ethiopia. Either way I hope to meet up with her later. I picked up a North Face Flight Series long sleeve shirt. The only size they had was small, so I got it. I walked in the store with a short sleeve North Face shirt and North Face pants...the guy asked me if I was a walking advertisement for them! It was funny I didnt even realize that North Face were pretty much all the clothes I will be bringing to Africa. I asked the guy how much the shirt costs, as they were listed at 30 percent off. He told me 145 NIS or about 40 USD. Not too bad- got to the register and turns out they were much more. He gave me the lower price anyway, apologizing for the mistake :) Got lucky!
I then went through town and looked everywhere for some mosquito spray with at least 25 percent DEET in it. I cant find it anywhere! I will keep looking, hopefully I will find it before I fly. If not I will bring what I have and look for it in Addis Ababa. I got a tiny journal for 14 NIS and bought a cool knee-brace looking thing which is really a money holder on your leg. Dont want to get robbed!
Watched the Kansas City and Dallas Cowboys game at Blue Hole pub in town with DT, Nicky, and a new friend from their University. Crazy end of the game! Then got back, called Luc for his b-day (HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUC!) and decided to write this. I hope Dani gets better soon. More to come...
I wonder why people actually like to read about what other people are doing? Weird... I was originally thinking of keeping a journal for myself but I guess this is the best way to let people know I am safe. Nice to see people are commenting and reading all the random things I have to say! Night.
