Back from the Bush

As with all blog posts thus far, this one comes to you live from Lusaka, home of the internet. I hitched in yesterday with some friends and met up with some japanese volunteers who together with my buddy Ken cooked up a giant pot of curry which was the best thing I've had since the fried caterpillar my host mom made a few weeks ago.
I saw my site this past week and it is pretty awesome. It's basically a cottage in the woods. I live close to a family and not far from a school and clinic. I got the chance to meet the local headman, some farmers, teachers and clinic workers all of whom seemed excited to work with me. It was incredibly relieving to be able to put a face on what I will be doing and who I will be working with for the next two years. then the past couple days my counterpart from my village made the 13 hour journey down to Lusaka for a workshop where we discussed what I will be doing for the first three months I'll be at site. It was great and appears I will be able to stay pretty busy. I'll try to post pictures when I can figure out how to get my camera working...
Some people are heading out to some Chinese store to buy discounted soy sauce so I don't want to let that opportunity pass me by. Hence this blog is rushed and short. I promise to make a more detailed/interesting post in the near future.
