Quick Hello

Just wanted to say hi to anyone who actually reads this thing. I only have about 5 minutes left on the internet. Brian and I are doing okay. We've been very busy the last couple weeks. We find out where we'll be for the next two years later on this week so we'll keep everyone posted. I'll write more as soon as I'm able to. Miss you all!

Africa so far...

This is the first time I've had time to write anything since being in Africa. The days are very busy and very hot!!!! Our host family is really nice. They slaughtered a goat for us our first night there. That was...interesting. We actually have electricity and running water, which is nice. The food is better than I expected, for the most part. I don't care for goat meat but the fish is amazing. We have a lot of rice and couscous. We usually have breakfast about 7:30 which consists of a piece of bread with butter and of course tea. Lunch is usually about 2 or 2:30. My favorite lunch has been either the fish and rice with veggies or these fish ball things with rice and veggies. Dinner is usually at about 9:30ish . That tends to consist of goat and rice/couscous/macaroni noodles without veggies. I miss veggies with multiple meals! The mangoes and bananas here are absolutely delicious. I just bought a little thing of Pringles today, yummm. They were expensive but worth every ouguiya. All the trainees are together for the fourth of July today. We're going to have hamburgers, yay! I'll post more when I have more time. I miss you all!
