On the most basic phone available here, I can save about 70 texts at a time. Being the pack rat that I am, I have kept some of my faves in my inbox. Below - some that are not too inappropriate ;)

• If ur here at 9 ******* get naked. Hurry up (false)
• U just got a raise, btw. :) (yay! the start of fun weekend trips..)
• What shall we bring you, a live fish or a live man? We miss you here… (when I had malaria and missed the coast trip, sad sana.)
• We’re at the top of the kenyatta conference building. We’re showing the city to the dispensaire. U want to join us? (it took me awhile to realize that this was the portable dispenser that I sent on the overnight bus to Nairobi..)
• Tesia has skippy and hellman’s… It’s like I’m in a parallel universe (Also extra virgin olive oil and expensive granola. Trippy.)
• I have been making a list on my phone of “modern african music”—we have to remember to study it carefully before going out next time. For example, how did we forget beep beep?!?!?!!!??? (<3. we’re listening to 3 versions of ‘waving flag’ at the moment.)
• It’s malaria! Just a spoonful of peanut butter makes the medicine go down…
• The goat will be slaughtered at 2, but you’re welcome to come whenever!
• ALERT! There is a green mamba in the trees over the gazebo! I AM TERRIFIED!
• We are fine but the matatu we were riding in just got into a high speed chase with the police! This is africa
• I feel like I should get her something since 3 jars of my pickles exploded in her bag. (funny: the gift also leaked)
• Hell’s gate? I thought you were working! (nope. :))
• Ok great see you soon sweety! (housemate love)
• You’re awesome. I don’t know what we’re going to do without you.
