An Unsuccessful Lunch

So...

it was just a normal day.

and i made nachos (or at least attempted to...)

And this is what it turned out to be...

On fire. In the oven.

Stupid me. Stupid, stupid me. I put it on the top shelf of the oven. and then I smelled something burning and checked the oven. i then screamed to my dad to come quick and he rescued the oven before i practically lit the house on fire.

And then I burned the second batch, too :P

And now I think I ruined nachos for the rest of my fam's life.

I guess this was an Unsuccessful Lunch.

Clue

the retro-ness of this game is so fun! made in the 1960's...

tanzania... day 5

So today, we would have been shopping at the market! The market was an amazing experience! (i dont have pics :( )

but it was a lot of fun...
you would say, "How much is this?" and they'd say something like "5" and you'd say, "how bout 2?" they say "no." so I say "ok well I'll check over there. maybe i'll come back here later." and they freak out and say "NOOO LADY COME BACK! YOU PAY 2!" it's hilarious!

and they call you "lady" or "girl". like: "lady, lady you want this? this??"

it was so awesome.

after that we went to an awesome pizza place! i got margarita pizza and let me tell ya... it was AMAZING!!!!!!! it was so good!

have a great day :)

tanzania... day 4

Ok so I messed up and did 2 days in one on "day 1" and then skipped yesterday b/c it was boring ;) although not boring while i was there, just blogging about it is boring :)

****************************

So today, it would have been Sunday. We woke up to these beautiful children wanting to play. So we gave them some bubbles and i loves photographing them :)

{my fav}

so we did a lot of this while waiting for people to finish going to the "bathroom".

So this was my dad, Amani (our translator), the pastor, the translator that translates from Swahili to something else, Kelsey, and Donna. (im missing :P)

Then, we visited bomas!

And saw what people made for the market :)

and then we saw a goat being cut open (yuck!)

goat (which i ate)

cute little James!

(saying his ABC's)

the cutest baby ever!!!

this little girl fell in their open fire in her boma. The doctor told us about 3 days later, "someone must have prayed for this girl b/c she is healed!"
