Is that a social life I see?

So for the past few weeks, since I got here I guess the only people I've been meeting have been through work stuff which is fine but doesn't make for exciting weekends. Thursday was the closing ceremony for the World Social Forum, I went on my own and ended up running into Allison and the group later on but near the beginning I had gotten up from my spot on the grass to get closer for a picture. Another girl nearby had done the same thing and in the process of taking pictures let me take her spot to get a better shot and then she left and I thought nothing of it. About an hour later all of a sudden I saw her again and she came up and we started talking, turns out she's living in nairobi as well, pretty close to where I work so we traded cell numbers and on saturday I went out to a movie with her and some of her friends. We saw Blood Diamond...I'd definitely recommend it, its slightly disturbing at times but so powerful. We were all kind of speechless walking out of the theatre. It was a lot of fun and we went to the market together on Sunday after church as well.

On a different note, I was out for dinner last night at the home of an Ethiopian couple Bridget (who I work with) is friends with. I've met the husband a few times in my adventures trying to locate my bags because he's a taxi driver but hadn't met his wife. They've got a little girl who is 9 months old an so adorable. So I got an authentic Ethiopian meal for dinner. We didn't have dessert but we did have coffee. She roasted the coffee beans right there in the living room over a burner, then ground and brewed the coffee, it smelled amazing and tasted even better.
