Hi all,
I do apologise to all my fans out there for my belated post...been too busy living life. So yesterday was boats race. This is an all school swimming relay event. A "boat" is a team of 4 within a year group. The number of "boats" within a year group depends on the size of the year group. And the best boat in the year group is boat 1 etc etc. There are 10 divisions all together with 4 teams in each division. If you win your race, you're promoted, and if you come last, you're relegated. This happens twice a term every term. The exciting thing is that you get year 7s racing year 3s...and losing! So yeah, all very confusing.
Today, I volunteered to be the assistant coach for the under 11As playing at St Andrews Turi. Its a school further north, about 2 hours drive away, in the middle of no where. However, its such a nice school. You'd expect that though, as its both a prep school and secondary school. Sadly, we lost 3-1, as they had this one player who was out of this world. A great effort from the lads though, especially harry with a cracking goal. But it was a great opportunity to get it of pemmers and see a bit more of Kenya. I have noticed though, having travelling around a couple of time already with their school, that you do tend to stick out like a sore thumb. As a "mazungu" (white man) travelling through towns, you do get the impression that everyone is looking at you. Especially when there are 20 screaming children in the bus, shouting "jambo".
See y'all tomorrow
