Pictures: Peace Corps Office, Site Visit

Peace Corps Zambia. This is the "Insaka" that we had all of our language training was. notice the curved plant on the right hand side... That is where I lovingly hit my left eye wit every time I go to class.

This is the Peace Corps Zambia Administrative office

Jess and I walking to class way too early in the morning...

This is the Building for my Community Health Improvement Project. One of the big projects under our umbrealla is the HIV/AIDS Project.

Here is the cat that stole Jess's Pizza and harasses us for our lunch. This black cat was the first thing I saw when I got here... bad omen...

Ouch....

Here is the computer lab. I spent more time on the internet in the past two weeks then the last 10 months combined.

The bunk rook where we stayed. Notice the hats above the window, look familiar. Thats mine on the left and Jessica's on the right

Ok, these picture AREN'T from my hut. This is on a site visit at a volunteer named Ruben's site. In the foreground is what is called an insaka. It is where you usually would cook or just hang out during the day when you don't want to be inside the hut. In the back is his house.

Off in the distance there is the tiny little bathroom

This is the showering area. This is really similar to my shower area in Guinea

As you can se, everything is a little ways away from his hut. Definately not like Guinea where the villiages were really dense. I can't believe I am basically describing my last villiage as a bustling metropolis in comparison to this.

Here is a closer shot of his house and the dirt road that leads up to it. I could not believe the driver could find this place. he basically knew every footpath you had to take to get here. it is literally a half hour or more off the main road. What was more impressive was the fact that the next night he was able to find it again but in the dark. I am going to get lost... You all know my keen keen sense of direction

Here is Ruben's very own mango tree. I have heard that I will have some as well. We are just starting the rainy season, so I am getting here just in time to gorge myself on Mangos.

Gotta end with a sunset picture. Sorry about the cheesyness..
