Field Trip & Cake

 Today I got to go on a field trip!! I got to actually go walking on the streets!  Follow along on the journey of putting data on my phone here.  Blaise is a rock star and so patient with me and helping me figure things out! When you run out of data you have to go to these little shacks along the street and pay to have them put data on sim card.  It is only good for 30 days and then you need to do it again.  Even if you don't use all your data, if you don't add, then you loose it.

Just across the street from the office site is this little set up and we tried this place first but they don't do Africell, which is the one we have so we had to go a little further.  Blaise asked if I was ok walking and I was a little too eager with my response because he started laughing at me! I was excited to be able to walk! So off we went!

We walked to the end of our street, which has no sidewalk, it's just dirt and then turned onto the main street where there is a sidewalk! The pedestrian situation here is just as insane as the driving!  People will just walk down the middle of the street and cars go around them or honk, depending on the driver. Blaise new I would be more comfortable on the sidewalk! 

                 

This is the shack where we bought the data. You have to write your number down on the little white piece of paper with how much money you want to put down on your account and then they add the data! Again, I'm so grateful for Blaise and his ability to speak English & French!

When we got back to the office, we had cake waiting for us because it is Richmond's birthday!
