Current Location: Burkina

It is about to start raining and I am so happy!!  Yet again I only have like 10 minutes to write on this funky kepboard because I didnt tell my family where I was going.  The French keyboard letters such as a and m are in different spaces and all of the letters and nu,bers are screwed up.  Last night I ate what has been called a local favorite here, To.  It is a substance that has the consistency of playdough that you mush together with this strange sauce.  I didnt think it was great, but from what I hear from the volunteers who have been here for a while it grows on you.  Other than that I have pretty much enjoyed all of the food that has been given to me.  That is all for now, the electricity keeps flickering and we have to turn off the computers.

Caleb, what are you doing besides eating and sleeping? What village are you in now? Can you translate the French header for me? I'm glad you are enjoying your stay. Got to go. Later, Aunt Lessa

Toh is tasty (NOT!)

Wow, an internet place in your homestay? That's pretty fancy! So are you in Ouagadougou or in a smaller village outside of it? Don't you hate those French keyboards?!
We're glad the toh was not a horrible experience. What kind of sauce was it, the runny brownish sauce or the slimy green snot sauce? Have you gotten the king of the sauces, the peanut butter sauce, yet? Mmmm...tasty.
Looking forward to pictures!!
