Car Crash and Pineapple

So last night I saw something that someone would never see in America. A truck had flipped on its side injuring a few people and trapping some underneath. Once Peter, Paul, and I got there, we saw that there were 20 or so cars pulled over and the truck was surrounded by people helping or waiting to help. In America you'll have one or two people pull over and call 911 and the rest will just drive by. I asked Peter why this was and he said that in Kenya, it can sometimes take up to four hours for an ambulance to get there, so I figured the people are just making up for what the government should be taking care of.

Also, this might make for an interesting week. I bought a pineapple today and washed it with some clean water. After eating it I checked my email and found out from Dale, my step-dad, that I should steer clear from succulent fruits such as watermelon (I'm pretty sure the pineapple falls in the category of succulent as well). I am a little worried about it now because I ate more than half of it on my own but it was very delicious and I have some antibiotics just in case.
