Counting The Days

200 days

200 more days to try

200 more days of being different

200 more days to take afternoon naps

200 more days to dream of home

200 more days to have everyone know my name

200 more days to be a stranger

200 more days to see

200 more days of spending time with my wife

200 more days to be called toubab

200 more days to read

200 more days to haggle

200 more days of frustration

200 more days of having a large family

200 more days of failure

200 more days of success

200 more days of inshalla

200 more days of dirt roads

200 more days of mosquito netting

200 more days of animals everywhere

200 more days of far away

200 more days of hope

200 more days of our 2 room home

200 more days of give me

200 more days of too many languages

200 more days of laughter

200 more days of men holding hands

200 more days of wondering if I can make it

200 more days of making a difference

Paranoid Android

Kristy and I have been trying to use the interweb for a couple weeks now and with the consistant inconsistancies that has been troublesome. We have been well, working to get our Water Charity projects done, you should donate :) here for mine and here for Kristy's. Things are going well I have some new pictures of my project if you want to see what your giving to.

We mentioned a matathon march that we were going to go on with the new PCV's but due to some budget stuff that didn't happen. It was a bummer and the people who did go got lost, such is life.

The holidays came and went and I am glad they are behind us, this year was much harder than the last and we thought of everyone and love you all.

We have run away from a monster called the Konkoran (they beg for money) a few times, they pop up on holidays and are usually surrounded by hoards of people and drumming.

I hope that we can time interweb cafe being open a bit better in the future, take it easy.
