First week

Okay, so I've been here for a week and a half and so much has happened. I've been living with my training host family in Mboro and I absolutely love them. They are fantastic. We've been working on our garden at the school there and we have planted moringa trees, lettuce, tomatoes, cabbage, okra, and bissap. The kids have been difficult, but we're dealing with it. I almost got hit by a car on my bike..I'll post a picture later. Mboro is paradise. It's not that hot, it's right next to the beach, and there are no mosqitos. I'm learning the language slowly but surely, but it's a lot of fun. My teacher is the funniest, most patient man I've ever met. I'm sorry that this is so choppy and non-intimate, but I only have so much time right now. I'll be able to write more later when my schedule isn't so outrageously insane. Haa gongol!
