I was reading an interesting posting on My African Travels website about the good and the bad of living and working in Africa. The posting is in the form of a letter to folks back home and this one talks about an illness the author suffered not long after arriving in Urundi, Africa. She was in the 3^rd trimester of a pregnancy and under the care of nurses who thought her illness was malaria. Fortunately, it was not and her doctor got the right medicine for her. That’s a scary episode, but it turned out fine.

Next, she speaks of the good stuff. For example, they had lots of delicious fresh fruits and vegetables from the fertile and naturally irrigated garden and orchard. Furthermore, she has more than enough help with the chores from the villagers who earn a living by cleaning the house, doing the laundry and the cooking as well as help with the garden. This is a very entertaining and educational site.
