Peace Corps = Peanut Butter

Seriously. Peace Corps volunteers must consume more peanut butter than any other group of people. During training, it was quite normal to look around the room and see several people eating PB straight out of a jar. We will neither confirm nor deny doing the same.

Anyway, after about 2.5 months in South Africa, here are some things that currently define our daily lives:

- Peanut butter (of course)
- Rain on (and occasionally through) our tin roof
- Kids laughing hysterically when we greet them in Xhosa
- Amazing night skies
- Bucket baths in our kitchen area
- Dirty feet
- Incredible mountain views
- Crowded public taxi (minivan) rides
- Shockingly cold nights
- Daily analysis of our electricity usage
- Lots of runny playing
- And awkwardness; a lot of awkwardness
