Sunday in Africa

November 24, 2013 by Paul and Ellen Swenson

Today was a rest day also. We just stayed at the hotel: ate, swam and napped. We tried a food we hadn’t tried before here: Banku with pepper sauce. Very spicy but good. Pepper sauce is like VERY hot salsa with different chilis, not jalapeno. Anyway, Emmanuella REALLy likes pepper sauce. We’re pretty sure she ate about a half cup of it tonight. I guess she’ll need some salsa instead of gravy at the Thanksgiving table. She also really likes the Backyardigans. I’m glad I brought a DVD with 3 episodes. One is called “The Secret of Snow” – I guess maybe that will help prepare her for snow.
She was more tired today and much more annoyed that Daddy was around, but I guess that will be a process of learning to trust him. We’re 5 hours ahead here now since EST has changed the clocks back so it is bedtime here and not quite dinner at home. We’ll have some adjusting when we fly home!
