LITTLE THINGS MEAN A LOT. Went to the bosta (post office) this morning via transit, as there were lots of people headed that way and no taxis. No sheep today, but there were 12 men, one woman, and two children in with me. I indicated to the woman for the girl (about 9) to sit on my lap, which kind gesture seemed to surprise them a bit. Then this conversation took place with one of the men. He: sport? Me: eyeah, shufk? He: eyeah, mzien! Which translated means, Are you the woman who does walking for exercise? Yes, have you seen me? Yes! It is good!

Another little thing. I found cantelope yesterday in Kech so last night had cantelope with yogurt for supper. Mzien!
