Grasshopper Fun (by: Emily)

Last night a few of us decided to do something adventurous...well...maybe it doesn't seem adventurous, but I'm not always brave enough to try "interesting" foods. Grace, Megan, and Tarrah were eating grasshoppers and Grace remembered me saying I wanted to try one too! So, they picked up some from the market and we each held onto our grasshopper getting ready to put it into our mouth... I don't think I would've freaked out as much until I looked at it and saw the little black eyes staring at me...that was gross! We all put them in our mouths and it was much different than I expected. I was told they were salty and tasted like a pretzel, but they tasted fishy and the body was kind of hollow so as you bit down it all just caved in. I didn't chew it very much...I ended up swallowing a big chunk of it whole. It was a very interesting experience....and I don't think it tastes like a pretzel!!!

Another fun thing that happened yesterday evening was a beautiful rain storm! Alyssa and I ran through the grass and sang and danced...it was SO much fun! I absolutely love the rain...especially African RAIN!
