Malaria

So we decide not to go to Ethiopia for Christmas. The news everyday is talking about how the Somali border is very dangerous right now and thats basically where we are and would be even closer if we went to Ethiopia. Plus, it would take too much time. So- Jinja, Uganda for Christmas. We are going white water rafting.
We board the bus in Lamu- 9 hours later Mombassa. Find a night bus to Nairobi and arrive at 6am- here we make a friend on the bus to walk us to the next bus station. It is notoriously dangerous but seems just fine. We run in for some breakfast and when I open the bathroom door I find some woman crying and being violently strip searched by a pack of women and men. They stop- look at me and motion for me to squeeze through and out. I sit down and we are informed that everyone is sizing us up here so we move on and get on the first bus OUT haha. This one is mm 12 hours to Jinja. We play the new CDs and DVDs we bought on the bus for everyone's entertainment. 36 hours of bus = Jinja but we're doing fine. Weird but Ive had worse. Maybe it's the scenery....maybe the company.
We go moutain biking in Lamu, sign up for all our fun activities and then guess who gets malaria for christmas ;) Thats right... this girl.
Ive seen it wreck us white kids a couple times so I didnt mess around- caught it early. Sleeping lots now and eating well. Looking out over the nile and feeling like malaria is "the shit". Im enjoying myself haha- dont you worry bout me.
