And now I have a kitten!!
She's adorable and has biked more in this country than I have. Erich brought her down from his site as a gift for my bday. She's cute but meows sooooo much but hopefully with age that'll settle down. Her name's Leppi (which is atype of fabric they sell mainly up near Erich's site). She's cute and eats bugs and gives me someone to talk to in my house instead of just me! haha
love you all

Hey, Rach,
Great to get a BLOG update, bummed about no pictures. Hooray, hooray for Lisa!!! So glad she'll be your neighbor. Cool note about visit with Amy Little, too funny.
Take care, update as much as you can and we'll call tomorrow - afternoon, your time.
love you, miss you,
mom
Great you got to blog!Also great you have Leppi! Thanks. Enjoy kitten, and forgive folks for not being schedule bound, just a cultural difference. Glad you are using spare time to educate adults in our ways, keep the faith. Thakful for your good neighbors! Most of your students have motivation, just different culturally. I have a Haitian doing some yard work, doesn't seem schedule bound, either, but goo guy. Love, Popop
LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU! I cannot wait for our cats to meet and fall in love you know...its gonna be great! Keep up all the good work...if anyone can do it you can! :)
Hey Rachel,
I just happened to click on your blog from the long list on the Guinea site and it appears that you are my replacement. I was in Kankalabe from 05-07. I was apart of the crew that was evacuated. It was surreal to see you standing on my old porch with the Proviseur.
Anyway, I hope that you are enjoying your service, it's a great village, the market on Sunday was amazing, and the people there are so kind. Please greet everyone there for me, esp. my adopted family the Bahs, they have the rice bar on the corner, esp. Madame Bah, she's the best. You can email me at tjinguinea@hotmail.com.
Bonne chance and Du Courage,
Toni "Kankalabe" Diallo
I LOVED THIS POSTING AND THIS BLOG!
Congratulations!!!!
GOD BLESS!!!!!!!!!!
I picture your cat as an African version of Pearl, staring at bugs, going "meowmeowmeowmeowmewomeow"...and freaking Alice out.
