I owe you an apology. I am painfully aware that I promised you a blog post about my exciting visit to the Millennium Village last week, and I still have not delivered. I assure you I have a good excuse for my tardiness: this week as been marred by an unexpected deluge of homework. I am all caught up now, and will deliver the promised post some time in the next few days. Until then, here are a few good stories:
I usually listen to my ipod on the bus. Having music makes the hour long commute much more enjoyable. This is why, as I was riding home Monday night, I was almost at my bus stop before I realized that my bus had a tv in it! I hadn't noticed because there was just music, no words, so I thought it was the radio, but it was a silent film. They were playing an Charlie Chaplin movie on my bus.
This story is undoubtedly going to end up being one of my favorites from this entire trip. Somehow the topic of transgender people came up at dinner the other night. Eddy, being 9, had never heard of people changing their gender, and he was rather confused by this. So, Tuesday night, my host mom came home from work with a bunch of information she'd printed out about transgender people and gave it to Eddy to read, and that night at dinner we talked about it and she told him that they're people just like us. :)
