You say you want to be outside but you want to be alive

The last month has been insane but has flown by at the same time. 

The Moribob (Moribabugu) crew was definitely hard to say goodbye too. Sam, Mark, Jamie, Susan, Erin, Kim, and Chris. We had some great times. 

Some times include:

Jamie being there when I fell inside the well and she had to walk me all the way home on her shoulder. 

Pooping in a bag at the Bar in Moribabugu because their nyegan didn’t have a hole. 

There’s more of course but I’m too tired to write them. The last few days included swearing in as real volunteers, and going to a club in Bamako. The swearing in ceremony was pretty short and sweet. We all got jazzed up in our Malian attire to attend. After that we hung out at the American Club where we went swimming, played tennis, soccer, volleyball and got sunburned. 

 

Jamie, Aud, and myself left to go to the hotel where we napped and then watched this awesome french dance T.V. show to pick up a few moves for later in the night. I don’t really know how my moves ended up though. I mainly just sat outside talking to a new friend Lucas, rating the people that were pretty drunk on a drunk scale of 1 to 10. It was pretty great though and a lot of laughing happened. Some time later in the night we made it back to the hotel probably like 3:00 or 4:00 and that was it. A pretty great night.

Pictures hopefully will be posted soon. I’m sitting in a hotel in Segou until friday morning when I ship out to Makili so I will have internet access and phone reception for sure until then. Feel free to call too, since one of the main things I will be doing is attempting to beat my high score at Mahjong.
