Today we had a ceremony at school for the late headmaster before we take the body to Western for the burial. It was very peaceful, although the body arrived about 4 hours late from the mortuary.
Also, it rained Monday, and I learned about an interesting phenomenon. When it rains, the area changes from relatively bug-free, to swarming with termites like locusts. In my house last night, I was inside with the light on, which apparently translates to "please infest my house." I promptly turned out the lights, and they left pretty quickly. At school today, the students went all over the grounds collecting the bugs (they die pretty quickly). Then, at lunch, along with the maize and beans, we also had some cooked termites. After some coaxing, I agreed to eat two. It was very crunchy and salty.
Anyway, soon there will be a post should be filled with travel adventures. Exciting!
