At site



So I've been at my site now for just over 2 weeks....and I have to say that this country is way cool. I've been able to see and do lots of things in my first few weeks here. It is rather hard to find fresh vegetables (or any at all), like onions and tomatoes in my town. So I have to travel about 20 minutes to the nearest market (on Tuesdays and Fridays) to go shopping and restock my shelves. Ahh...isn't life grand. In the picture to the right I have a shot of a bunch of my friends and I. There's Dina, Meg, Anthony, and Ralph. I know he doesn't look it, but Ralph just so happens to be the oldest Peace Corps Volunteer ever. Anthony just happens to be one of my closer neighbors...it only takes 4-5 hours to get to his house from mine. And speaking of houses, I just happen to have a picture of my house here with me today...
And that is a picture of the back side of my house....The two blue doors there are to the latrine and to the bathroom. And the door underneath the light is my front door. Enjoy.
