New life, new address

I have been at site for about two weeks and everything is going great so far. I am currently in the town nearest to my village where there is actually an internet cafe. I believe the cafe owner said that I can bring my laptop and use it, so I am going to try and do that within the next week and write a real post about my life. Right now one of my brothers is waiting for me on the horse cart outside the cyber and the french keyboard is driving me crazy so I m going to leave you guys with my new address:
BP 16
Medina Ndiatebe
Sengeal

Oh and in answer to Katies comment you buy buckets for a hut, that is all

Intermediate Low

I passed my language exam which means that tomorrow I will be swearing in as an official Peace Corps Volunteer. On Sunday I will be heading up to the Fouta to start buying things for my hut and then on Wednesday I will move to my village. Its pretty crazy that its finally happening. PST was a whirlwind of emotions and while I'm sad to be saying goodbye to some of my friends heading to other parts of the country, I am excited to finally go to my site and start working. I know I should write more, but at lot is going on right now. I will try and upload some more photos on Saturday if I have some free time.
