Hello again!

I didn't actuqlly have time to set up the automatic blog posts the last time I was in Conakry but now Geoff and I are in Kindia and we have access to the internet here so I'll try to set up a couple short posts sharing some interesting stories. First though I'll give you an update on the last 2 weeks:

After thanksgiving, we went back to site and back to the typical routine. Nothing has changed too much at my site with the acception of a new class on my schedule! I am no longer just a math teacher but now I am also teaching Geography for my 10th grade class because our geography teacher was reassigned to the high school in Telimele. I may also start teaching geography in 9th grade but I'm going to see how 10th goes for a month or so before I get too many more classes on my plate. I gave my first lessonthispast week on North Africa. It was a lot of fun and it's helping me build my French vocabularyand learnabout Africa so it's a win-win situation. In other news, I recently had some pants made from local fabric and they are awesome! Also, I have a new favorite african dish which is a mixture of manioc, pumpkin, and sweet potatoes. I'll take a picture the next time we eat it.

Geoff and I are planning a bike trip during Christmas break so I should be able to put up some cool photos from that. We're in Kindia for the weekend to hit up the bank, the internet cafe, and do some shopping. So long for now!
