Tomorrow I am finally leaving Conakry and into my host family's house, 100 km away. I probably will not have internet access during the next three months or so. So my mailing address is:
Corps de la Paix
B.P. 1927
Conakry, Guinea
West Africa
We have been spoiled at the Peace Corps house in Conakry, as we have had electricity, showers, AC, and some food (I've learned to eat at breakfast and dinner...and only a little at lunch). Tomorrow, after the adoption ceremony, I will be moving all my stuff into a house where I will not be able to communicate with anyone! This past weekend, I have had surival language in French and Su Su (the native tongue in this region). I am able to say hello, what's your name, how are you, where you from, and goodbye...good start, right?! It should be very interesting and entertaining. I've been trained on how to use a latrine, take a "bath" with a bucket, and use bleach to "clean" my water. I think I'm ready!
Miss you all and love you very much!!
