So since I wrote that blog, a bit has changed! I caught a bit of a cold and dont feel up to biking to Ndem. Our softball game was canceled so now I think I may have to meet some friends in Thies for a day maybe.. well see!
I celebrated my christmas in the most bizarre way! my host mom called me when i was in st louis telling me i had lots of mail waiting for me but also a tax of 11000 cfa for 2 packages!! i was rather mad at you people, making me pay over 20 bucks for presents! geez! i know i didnt get you anything but come on!! haha so i went to the poste and picked up not 2 but 6 packages! ahh happy day! i was only charged for one above the normal rate even though they were all opened and taped shut. I dont care - I have some of the best family and friends! and i didnt even have to wait my turn to rip open packages!
I dont know how i will ever finish all the food or when i will actually get around to watching all 3 seasons of Greys but man was i ever smiling and still love going home, cuz i can really call it that now, to see my maps hanging on my walls and snow and the smell of candles and ahhh you people are great!
needless to say there is a very happy peace corps volunteer living in bambey! you people are going to have to wait til 2010 to get be back there if life continues like this! keep the cards and pictures coming! i hope to run out of wall space! all of you who sent something will have letters from africa in the mail soon! love you and THANKS!
Happy 2008!
