It’s July in East Africa and that means winter weather. By winter we mean dry, upper 70’s, generally beautiful weather. In this video we talk about the cool season and compare the weather here with the weather in the states.

In town at our house we show how we get water, how we filter it, and what happens when we flush our toilet.

As part of our Africa orientation with PBT, we spent two weeks in an East African village, living with a local family, eating local food, and learning about the local culture. This video shows what life was like for us there.

There is a troop of monkeys that likes to hang out at the PBT office, providing great entertainment/distraction for us. Here are a few clips that I recorded of them this week. This isn’t at a zoo or wildlife reserve, this is in our backyard!

This week we finished our time at language school and moved into a house we are renting near the PBT office. It’s exciting for us to finally settle down and have our own place after being on the move for so long. The house isn’t furnished yet, so we’ve decided to wait until later to give you the grand tour.

Driving in Africa is a complicated task, from the steering wheel and traffic being on the opposite side to the busy and crowded streets. In this video, Emily drives for the first time in Africa.
