Some more pictures...

So this is the sign going into my little village. Pretty fancy huh? just wait till you see the back...

nice, huh? so polite!

This is the dirt road I ride on to get into the Provincial capital.

Here are the all star teachers at Mwamba Basic School. we just got done with a 5 hour long meeting talking about how to improve the testing numbers. they are really a great group, and I see myself working ith them closely throughout my service.

This is the headmaster of my school that is drinking local beer out of a calabash usin a metal straw.... awesome!

This is that local beer... ummm, not really sure how to describe it... it is millet based and REALLY thick as you can see. After it is prepared, you boil water and pour it in. Then you use the straw to fish for the liquid. Actually not bad.

This is me with my handy dandy lawn mower. Look carefully and you will see it. It takes a while,but it never breaks down.

And in the yard is this monstrosity! don't touch or you will be itching for days.

Can't continue without an adorable picture of my cat... (for the Chaco's company, my mailing address is listed on the blog. size 12 please)

This is the Peace Corps house in Kasama. pretty nice. here's another pic from the front:

not a bad setup...
