Is awesome. Well at least by Peace Corps standards. It’s on the hospital compound. We have a bedroom, living room, dining/kitchen area and an indoor bathroom. No washing machine or dishwasher (we aren’t that spoiled), but we have electricity and running water. Okay, the electricity often goes out when it storms (3x in the last 1.5 weeks) and the water sometimes goes out as well and turns brown after we get a lot of rain (it’s been brown all week), but, hey, we’re not getting water dripped on our heads every night like in our last site. Plus, crystal light juice packets disguise the brown in the water, so all’s good. Don’t worry, we do boil it before drinking.
Thanksgiving Plans: a number of volunteers are getting together for the holiday, but since we just got to our new site (and it’s not a SA holiday, obviously), we’re staying here. We did find turkey lunchmeat at the store, so we’re having grilled turkey and cheese sandwiches. Just keeping it classy. Happy Thanksgiving!
