The postcards I had sent of "typical Canadian scenes" (skating on the Canal, polar bears, honking great icebergs) are probably now sitting near Mombasa with a mystified postman wanting to know what to do with them. Hoping the rest of your trip is just as much fun. The running group is looking forward to an encore of your condom demonstration when you get back.

I am also feeling a bit nostalgic as some of our experiences are similar. I cannot wait to see the pictures and hear the stories firsthand. Did you braid your hair? Love Caitlin Hey Bridget,

This blog is awesome, and funny, and yes, personally, you made me jealous describing the beautiful landscape you experience everyday; however, I felt better when you said garbage is everywhere and there are only 2 main streets :) lol Keep the postings coming, they're very entertaining to read. Later, Hoda P.S. did you ever chuck anything at the rooster outside your window or are you 2 getting along? :p Hey Bridget,

I'm sure that you're really ticked at not being taught Kenyan swear words. Ha, ha! Looking forward to living in the same city with you very soon! I'm sure we'll create a few adventures of our own...minus the chickens and 'white girl' comments. : - ) Tanya Bridget,

You make me chuckle. By the way, I was really happy to get your postcard and hung it on my wall! I will be going home in July for two weeks and then off to Swissyland to see the lover. I do hope you come to Boston sometime in the fall though. My spring semester will be tres busy. All the best and enjoy the rest of your work in Africa and your upcoming trip. Anne Hi Bridget,

Did Laure Belotti from ORYC altos ever get in touch with you? She's now in Mombasa with another NGO similar to yours and will be in Kenya till the end of the summer so I gave her your blog address; she hopes to find you! ORYC is rehearsing for UNISONG now; they had a successful anniversary concert in May it seems. Our trip to the Ukraine (then) was very interesting! Keep the stories coming! Margaret Hi Bridget,

Here's a brief update on Canadian news: your Ottawa Senators just lost - the Ducks are the new Stanley Cup champs. Dalton McGuinty is now promising that he will not raise taxes if elected this fall and this time he means it - I won't even comment on that. Please post some pics soon!

Thanks for keeping us updated. It is great to read you... You have such a nice way of telling stories. RE: deserving rape. I have heard the type of comments you mentionned a lot... in Canada or here in Australia... and from women too! Just think about how people treat prostitutes or strip-teasers who have been victims of sex assault. People usually don't say it out loud, but they think, they ignore, they disapprove. I think the work you are doing is great. Don't forget that Canadians are far from perfect though... and they might need you too when you come back ;-) Salut Bridget!
