OMG, this is the first country I’ve been too where I don’t have access to w0fi 24/7 and skype – and frankly its too much for me. How did I do Peace Corps again? I seriously feel like my limbs have been cut off, I feel like I am becoming estranged from my family, my friends, my life- aah!
On another note, people at work have been incredibly nice and I’ve had NUMEROUS party invitations…so many in fact, that I am on my way to my 3rd dinner tonight! First BBQ started at 4, second dinner at 6, and now going out friends at 9:30. I guess that’s what happens in places where there is no social infrastructure – you rely on one another. Just wanted to check in because I feel like I am out of it! TTYS!

I am so exicted to hear you are back in Africa!!! I really looked forward to you blogs. You have really opened up my mind to so many things. Have a wonderful time and be safe. Oh, and I’m sure you will be fine without Skype or WiFi. I look forward to hearing about your trip!!!
