Hello! Right now I am in Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso.
After busing to New York from Philadelphia, flying to Brussels from JFK, we
finally arrived in Burkina after 30 or so hours of travelling.
We were expecting pretty bare bones accommodations in Ouaga,
but ended up staying at a hotel with… air conditioning (!) and wifi (spotty
wifi, but wifi none the less).
Training has been informative and reassuring so far, a lot
of introduction and administrative things that need to be taken care of.
Tomorrow we are driving down to Leo, where we will be living for the next nine
weeks of pre-service training (PST). During PST we will be staying with a host
stay family, which is really nerve racking today but really exciting once I get
used to it. Today (Thursday) we learned about what to expect staying with a
host family and getting an idea what
language classes will be like.
I’m excited to teach my family the culinary wonders of Old
Bay!
Yay! I have been thinking and wondering about you soooooooooo much! They will come to love Old Bay like all who come in contact with you.
