HI GUYS

day three:
hi you guys. i'm having lots of fun here in africa. i only have three mosquito bites. we're all holed up in a peace corps training center and it feels like camp! we sleep dorm style in converted barracks, have three meals a day, meet underneath an open hut thingy and break off into training sessions! it's great. today, we learned a tiny bit of wolof and i learned how to make a garden bed using double digging. we also learned how to make a moringa seed bed. moringa is a very nutritious plant. that's all i really know about it so far. yesterday i tried traditional tea, kola nut, all kinds of juices, and tooth sticks. for lunch we sit on the floor and eat around a gigantic bowl. very exciting. leave me some comments! bye!

  6. since you haven't posted a new entry, i am just going to comment on this post.

    think of all of the possibilities POST-africa! like i can only use 'army' or 'iraq' every now and then because so much of my generation can relate, i don't get a lot out of it. but you? YOU can use AFRICA! as an excuse! for anything! parking ticket? 'AFRICA' overdue bills? 'AFRICA!' bar fight? 'AFRICA, bitch!'

  7. Hey Jessica, I finally got around to seeing how you've been. It looks like you're having a blast so I'm starting from the first entry and working to the present (no cheating), so don't be surprised if you see multiple messages from me. I'm glad this decision is becoming one of the most beneficial for you. :-)
