sooo ignore the lack of punctuation and capital letters im using the french keyboard
so we did a whirlwind tour of 8 sites in a day and a half. my site name is kankalabe and its a pretty bumpin town. my house is big and my principal and other official that i met are both really nice. the fouta is full of beautiful rides, but terrible roads. luckily no one got too sick and we got to see a lot of towns. now we get to take a breather and relax and hang out with americans.
sorry these posts are brief, but ill do better at answering speciic questions.
my site is kind of a hub for a good cluster of volunteers. lisa conor and joe are all really close on guinea terms so thats awesome.
site was great. gets me really excited for it, but also makes the whole being a peace corps volunteer very real.
love you all and keep in touch

Helloooo! from Labe!
It's been awhile, since there's no internet or anything in the town where we're training, but we're in labe now visiting our regional capital! so allt he Fouta volunteers are here and we're getting to know our big city. tomorrow we head out to our respective sites and get to do a tour of a bunch of people's sites that our near our own. we spend three nights at conor's (formerly beth's) site and then come back to labe for a night before heading back to our stage families.
life is going well. we're all thinking that we're really glad we chose to do this with our lives. so that's a good sign. i think everyone was ready for a change of scenery, so site visit is a welcome difference.
life during training is pretty routine. bucket baths, breakfast, sessions from 8-5, dinnner, hang out with the fam or hang out with the other pcts or pcvs. good times had by all. today was the first day we didnt have to be somewhere at 8. so that was nice.
site visit is a welcome change and everyones excited to see the house they'll be calling home for the next two years. it's also the first time we've been separated from people we've seen everyday since july 7th, so that's kinda weird. tho, unfortunately, we'll be needing to get used to that!
all the PCVs are reallly great and helpful and welcoming, so everytime we do something new for us, they're there welcoming us with happy new year signs and noise makers. great times.
miss you all terribly. sorry this is a brief post, but keep in touch! send letters or packages if you feel so incline :D got letters from mom, john, and emily so far!! thank you allll!!
keep in touch and give me updates on your lives stateside!!
MUCH LOVE FROM GUINEA
