The Italians
Published Thursday, December 01, 2005 by orange you glad | E-mail this post
My apartment building is full of Italian families. Many of them are youngish married couples who work in Kenya and have adopted Kenyan orphans. There are so many cases like this in this building. It is so adorable to hear the little Kenyan kids (who are like 2 or 3 years old) speaking Italian to their parents. They also speak Swahili. Some have one or two birth kids already but have adopted one or two orphans as well. I hope the pool is fixed soon so that I can hang out with them again.
Tonight went indoor climbing and tried lead climbing. I ended up falling but it wasn't bad (didn't hit the ground - just fell a ways through the air before the rope caught me). Wasn't scary - actually a little fun (except that I almost landed on someone's head!)
I love climbing and I love reading your entries about a world so different from the U.S. Keep writing and I'll keep reading!
