A numbers update

I was just reading through a past post (FYI) that listed a few numbers.  It's funny how things have changed...

Some current numbers, FYI:

5 - number of times we've run out of water
30 - number of nights we've lost electricity
.25 - number of dollers for two giant avocadoes

.50 - number of dollers for a juicy, delicious pineapple
2 - number of pieces of jewlery I've recieved from the one I affectionatly refer to as my 'Ugandan stalker.'
countless - number of near collisions (this includes hitting a boda, falling off a boda, having my foot tapped by a passing car while on a boda, and being close enough to a traffic cop that she brushed my arm - while on a boda... obviously!)
countless - number of potholes in the roads here
17 - number of spiders I've seen (though they're all nice and small)

2 - number of big, gross cockroaches in my room on any given night
lots - number of beautiful sunsets watched from the porch of our guesthouse
2 - number of days of work remaining
2 - number of weeks left to travel around some more of this gorgeous country.

  1. Shannon, I've been really enjoying reading your updates over the past month and a half. Granted, your updates have sorely lacked pictures of you and machetes, but you've still got 2 weeks, I know you'll fit it in. Just remember the stabbing motion I taught you in the karaoke bar using that empty tube of glow sticks on your friend's neck, and you'll do great.
