I Killed a Pig and Skinned a Goat

Had a fun time yesterday. We ate lots of food and I played some football. The locals are really good, and suprisingly the trainees are really good as well. Gretchen was great, she almost played the whole game. Aleta was really good too. She stole the ball from me and I got tripped up and fell. She wins, dammit. It was a fun time. After which, the trainers headed out to Chongwe to have a beer or two. As it turned out the trainees were out there too. We took them on a spontaneous visit to the club. It was lots of fun and actually a good idea. The bars here are very different than America. Men are a lot more aggressive. A lot more. We kind of made sure the trainees were able to see what problems they could potentially get in but with us as the voice of reason. It was a learning experience and a lot of fun. Yay Mosi! It is very unfortunate that a lot of the trainees are beautiful women. I've spent the past two years in a very lonely state and now I am surrounded by hottness. It kinda sucks. I can't really make a move (though I do flirt) but I'm completely out of practice anyway. How weird. I think I will suffer from loneliness in America as well. sigh.
