I am in Bamako for the day. We are almost done with training. One more week left in our language villages. I'm excited to start my service here in Mali. I have been looking forward to today for the past week. I ate pizza and am now about to feast on home-made chocolate ice cream. Ice cream is such a treat here because: it's hot, and ice cream is great in hot weather. Also, because it is just soooo good and it's a treat!
I am doing well out here. No more sicknesses, and I'm starting to feel fairly comfortable with the language. I got my first package! Shauna, you are awesome. I got Fritos and some trashy US/People magazines! I am now caught up on the latest gossip-at least from Aug. 11 and before. Hey, I need some way to keep up with American culture! More fun stories to come!
Short funny story: Yesterday I was asked how much my dad would ask for me. Meaning, how many goats/cows/$CFA for someone to marry me in America. I laughed and said he couldn't afford me!
More stories later!
