First, as a side note: the staff here are some of the most amazing people.
This session the student group is very different from the last one. The best thing about it is that there are four students from East Africa. I just spent over an hour talking to them about what we learned last session and the US. We pulled up google maps to show them America. I even zoomed in to show them my house. One of the other girls showed me that you can get the street view and the first thing I saw was my car. I had no idea you could do that. I was just as surprised as the African students and we were all cracking up that we could practically see in my front window. Plus how they happened to have a picture when my car was home was really funny because it was a recent picture (mom, your honda was in the driveway) and I'm barely home recently. After we looked around the street view for a little while one of the students said "Thank you for the tour of your house" and we all started cracking up. We looked at another student's house and then the Mississippi River as well as New York City. It was so much fun to see all the East African students' reactions and try to explain everything to them.
Also, today when we were driving in the jeep I was waving and saying hi to a lot of people. One of the kids was standing really close to the road so when I put my hand out to wave he pulled his arm back and gave me the hardest high five he could. It surprised me so I wasn't holding my arm very well and it flew back into the side of the car. It really hurt but it was also really funny. I guess I'll be more careful about sticking my arm out in the future. Haha.
