We went to a restaurant in Mafinga. I had never been to a restaurant like it (not that I have been to very many!). It was like a palace with a reception desk. There was a large dining area with big chairs and coffee tables and a TV. In another room there were regular tables. I had rice and pea sauce. The rest had chips my-eye (okay - your guess is as good as mine on how to spell it, but that is how it sounds). The food was good.

After arriving at Uncle Jason's place, we unloaded our things and went to Ariane's house for supper. I had a very nice time with her.

Tuesday morning, my toe was hurting! I thought it was because I had dirt under my skin. But when I showed it to Memere, she said I had a funza. This is a sore caused by a flea that goes in your skin and lays its egg there. So she dug with a pin to get it out and it hurt very badly. Later Twalisa found out she also had her first funza.

Later, I went with Twalisa to Ariane's house. I had a wonderful time catching frogs with April, Helena, Ariane and Twalisa. We caught over thirty frogs. Then we went for a walk.

The next day I went with Pepere to cut and load firewood. When we got home Ariane came and I walked with her to April's house. It was a long walk but we arrived on time for lunch. I went with them to a sign language class. I have learned some sign language so it was fun. We worked on finger spelling. When I arrived home Uncle Jason took me on the motorcyle to where Pepere was cutting down trees. That was quite the ride!
