staying in hotlanta....

my trip to kenya was postponed, so i'm in hotlanta for the next month. yeah, it's hot. i thought i was handling it okay, almost like la, but more humid, so i was dealing (it helps that i'm in the office most of the day)...but i just found out that it gets hotter than this in august. ugh, dunno if i'll be able to survive worse than this...la in august will be a welcome respite.

so...i was really disappointed that i wouldn't be able to hang out with hana and other friends in nairobi, but part of me is kinda glad to be in one place (even if it is atlanta) for a little bit longer. i got to hang out with some friends the past few weeks, which has been really nice, plus i've been able to go to a church nearby that i kinda like. so after getting over the initial disappointment, i'm somewhat ready to hunker down here for a few sweltering weeks.

another thing i was looking forward to was my 9 hour layover in paris...i was totally planning on heading out to the city to pick up some macaroons at laduree. and susan h. just e-mailed me some other spots i woulda loved to hit. so...i'm hoping that i'll get to go to nairobi in september, and i'll probably have to fly through paris...fingers crossed for another long layover. yes, paris for me is about cookies and chocolate, not the beautiful museums, the amazing architecture and landmarks. says a lot about me, dudn't it?
