Hey All!
First: I'm a real Peace Corps Volunteer now! Got sworn in December 15th by the Vice-Ambassador. He has a nice house. Then went into Nairobi town for some good food and Harry Potter! Accio Hamburger!
Finally moved into my new house! It's a beautiful part of the country. I sit on a hill overlooking lake Victoria. Absolutely gorgeous. Hope to get pictures up soon. House is nice too, but smells like bat guano. Oh! And I have new spider friends! They're a bit bigger and meaner looking than the Loitokitok pair, so I call them Shelob and Aragog. Due to comments regarding previous spider pictures, they're photos will not be posted.
Anyways, things are going great here so far. Had a few volunteers over for Christmas! We had burgers with guacamole and pineapple. Crazy delicious. Then we played hide and seek in my Haunted House, since we never actually celebrated Halloween. It was a good time for all. But alas, they have all returned to their sites. Sigh.
Classes 'start' January 7th, so I have a bit of time to try and figure things out, but there really isn't all that much to do. Lots of reading and stuff. And playing soccer down the road. Rocks make things interesting.
That's all for now. Hope to have a meatier update in the next few days, but you never can tell. It's a couple hour ride (Did you know you can fit 14 people in a 5 seater station wagon? With luggage too!) to the banking and internets, so we shall see.
Have a Merry Holiday All! And Welcome to '11!
Also, Go Blue! Beat the Bulldogs!
