Hello everyone! So I've been doing stuff...biked the pathway for the marathon with Alicia, my co-coordinator. It was lovely and really hot and rained immediately after we arrived in my village. I went to Tchifama, Alicia's village, with my host mother from our training site, Agou Nyogbo, and Julia, my cluster mate who had the same host mother as I did (she's a Natural Resources Management volunteer). We had a good time, drinking tchouk, dressing in the same pagne, wandering around Tchifama looking ridicoulous and then eating fou-fou of course made by Alicia's host mother. So I've decided to just leave you a bunch of pictures this time and little word. I'm doing well, settling in. I read 3 books this week...Gone to Soldiers, The Village of Waiting and The Alchemist. I also started a girls' soccer team (the SexEd class was a bust, so I decided to approach it by talking about SexEd issues during practice) and started on the home visits with the water committee to teach the peeps in village about potable water and fecal-oral transmission. I said little word, didn't I? Okay. Enough. Here. I miss you all...oh and that spider was not killed, fortunately I had a friend come by and catch him in a broom and place him outside unscathed. I call him Biggie Smalls. No relation to the rapper or my mother. Peace out.

Tig, I want a purple sun dress like yours, too! I tried for 2 hours to call you Sunday morn...What lovely mother/daughter dresses you 4 are wearing....you named a spider after me, how thoughtful. Hope she was a kind spider like Charlotte, not venomous like a brown recluse! yikes! love you, see you very soon, meemaw (biggie smalls)
Tig,
I was trying to locate you 'cause I miss you so very much. Looks like you've been a little busy lately. I've been working the homeschooling/labor nurse/grad school angles. You look faaabulous. Me...well, I still have the long face.
