It's been a long time!

It'sWell hello!

It has certainly been an incredibly long time. This blog is going to be extremely sub-par due to my lack of sleep and my frustration with Vanuatu internet.

Since I last wrote in January... I wound up moving in to my house right before school started in february. I was still eating with my host family because my gas tank hadn't arrived. I wound up teaching 3rd grade for a little while because they didn't have a teacher. In February, I pretty much stayed at my site the whole time.

In March, I went to the island of Vanua Lava and got to visit with some other PCVs which was tons of fun. I also helped with a Phonics workshop on my island.

In April, I took a boat over to the island of Maewo and had an amazing time. It was probably my favorite place in Vanuatu yet.

At site, I don't do much other than read. I've read 59 books so far. I also play guitar every day and do lots of crossword puzzles.

I came in to Vila last week some time for an All-Volunteer Conference. They put us up at a fancy resort (all 94 Volunteers) and a good time was had by all. I most enjoyed eating good food, taking hot showers, and just seeing all my friends. Unfortunately my camera got stolen from the room. I am trying to update the pictures I do have on my memory stick, but the internet here is incredibly slow.

Tomorrow I am flying back to Ambae and do not know when i'll be back in vila.

Keep in touch. You can either write me a snail mail letter, send me a message to my satellite phone, or send me an email through the peace corps email system all of which is explained on my blog! And since I have not much to do, I will write back!

Ok I think this is the address for my photos: try it, if not, i'm sorry!
