http://amyeslater.com/?p=29 My attempt to be an authentic woman in an inauthentic world Wed, 15 Mar 2023 07:22:11 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8 hourly 1 http://amyeslater.com/?p=29&cpage=1#comment-4966 Amy Tue, 07 Feb 2012 15:30:04 +0000 http://amyslater.wordpress.com/2009/07/04/africa-bats-and-goat-city-smells-part-one/#comment-4966 Thank you! It definitely took some time to adjust to life and culture in the United States. I'm in my late 30's now with three children, and I would have to say that they are my most captivated audience for sure! They love my stories. :) One day I hope to take my family to Kenya. Some stories are hard to comprehend until you've actually been there and have experienced it first hand. Thank you! It definitely took some time to adjust to life and culture in the United States.

I can really relate to it. I'm Dutch but was born and bred in Africa (Zambia, Malawi and Zimbabwe). We did visit Kenya once or twice. When I went to university in the Netherlands I encountered the same things you describe. No one is waiting to hear your stories, the climbing of mountains and having to be very careful not to step on a lazy puffadder snake basking in the sun etc. I hope you have now found people who do want to listen to your story!
