So it begins!!

aah, this is good. It's a full moon, i am undermy mozzie net listening to joni mitchell and relaxing after a goodmeal, a tea and a chat with my host mum. Despite some bug bites, dirtyfeet all the time and impossibly cold showers outside, things aregoing well. I am learning mambwe, a language spoken by the tanzaniaborder and that is where my family is from and they say it isbeautiful. The people-zambians and volunteers alike are great. Thesunsets are like montana as are the fluxtations in temperature frommorning to afternoon. We did a site visit last week and it was goodbut the amount of free time is a bit daunting. Training is long andtedious and i am anxiously awaiting the start of my service. So, allis good and please let me know how you all are! Take care!
