Living in Namaacha is like Camping...

So after a month of living in namaacha i've finally realized that it can be considered camping with a bed. i brush my teeth outside with a glass of water, feel invinicible while sleeping under a mosquito net, cook over an open fire, have a latrina and take bucket baths. it's been a great time and i really do enjoy it but i would like to take a real shower sometime soon...

i've completed a month of training and really only have 5 more weeks!!! this coming weekend we leave for site visits which will give us a glimpse of what the next 2 years will look like. i'm so excited to leave namaacha since we really haven't been able to for this first month.

this past weekend we had a halloween party and it was so much fun!!! i realized that i do like halloween but i like it a lot more in different countries. the costumes were so great considering everything was bought from our local market. i'll try to put pictures up at some point but it proves to be really hard here. Not much else has changed in my life recently but i love being updated on all of yours!!! i also do have internet on my phone and check my emial more than anything else so that is the best way to get a hold of me!!! miss you all!!!!!
love,
ana

  1. Hey Ann!!
    Glad you had a fun Halloween! Trevor was Cat in the Hat, Nina was a vampire (with really deluxe teeth) and Hunter was a penguin. Got through Holly Fair (barely) and gearing up for holiday season. REALLY miss you - you are irreplaceable! Have fun in Africa - take lots of pictures!
