It's good to hear that your host family is suppling you with many quality, "hands-on", cultural anthropological opportunities and experiences. <br /><br />Also glad to hear that your mosquito netting is mult-functional...mosquitos, spiders and rats! Must be made of good stuff!<br /><br />The bucket of cold water over the head sounds freshing...but...where do you actually take the bucket bath? Is there a bathhouse, a specific area in or around the house, or just outside where ever you can? Just curious!<br /><br />Keep up the great blogging! I enjoy learning about your experiences! I love you! - DadJR Strandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15015713995870566060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7751018203687043067.post-81171040656999690402009-06-17T15:27:25.129-07:002009-06-17T15:27:25.129-07:00Diane!!!

Some travel...some shots...some new card games...and of course those malaria pills! How is Kukurantumi? The photos I saw posted on another blog were very pretty! Have you been bike shopping...or is that something you will do once you are relocated to a smaller community? What have you been eating? I am curious about all the things you are experiencing! I am glad that you have been getting to know your fellow PC'rs. Have you met DJ Burke? I came across his blog and he was on the same flight as you from JFK to Accra! I commented on his blog and left a message to his mom. I found him because he actually commented on your blog! What a circle! :) I love you and hope all is well! 2GC per day while in training! Don't spend it all in one place! :) Love, DadJR Strandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15015713995870566060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7751018203687043067.post-15839753491936788772009-06-06T08:05:11.988-07:002009-06-06T08:05:11.988-07:00Diane...it truly has begun! Your dream of serving...Diane...it truly has begun! Your dream of serving in the Peace Corps is now a reality! I wish you great success in your projects...in your inevitable education...and in your life experiences. You are doing what many merely "wish" they could do! To take a dream and make it happen requires a special person! Of course...I know you are a special person! You are so awesome and in so many ways an inspiration to those you don't even know! Be safe...be true to yourself...and most important...be yourself! You have always marched to the beat of your own drum...now that drum beat is African! I am so proud of you and love you so much! I will look forward to your correspondence and to eventually sitting down with you, to hear everything about your adventure! I love you! - DadJR Strandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15015713995870566060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7751018203687043067.post-69866775107029941432009-03-21T13:23:00.000-07:002009-03-21T13:23:00.000-07:00trust me. enjoy the cold while you can.
