... power has been out for 24 hours, and apparently there was a fire in the power station. Power isn't expected to come back for 3 weeks. It didn't even go out that long during the Ice Storm in 1998 in Maine! awesome.
I'm glad we have a gas stove.
I know I promised the rest of the story of my trip to Kenya and then my trip to Uganda, but it will have to wait until either the power comes back or I relocate to a café with a generator. I was happily charging my computer here at a café down town when their generator stopped working. Not to worry. I'll probably post installment #2 by next week.
I hope you're all doing well. One funny story for you all:
umeme= electricity
ume= male genital organ
I have a friend who during a power outage once yelled to her friend waiting downstairs "ngoja kidogo- hakuna ume hapa!" (wait just a bit- we don't have ___ here!) to which her now husband said "speak for yourself!"
Unfortunately I now after hearing that story am afraid that I'll mix up the two words when speaking Swahili. I hope whoever is on the listening end has a sense of humor.
