peace out Natitingou!

i love reading the posts, it's nice to know you guys are still over there! I'm leaving tomorrow for Guinagourou. The fam here has expressed some major disappointment that I have not chosen to reside in Natitingou for the rest of my life. I now have a lifelong invitation qas well as anyone affiliated with me. These people are SO great! Yesterday, Tom and I were given a going away party by our families, I'm not kidding when i say I ate at whole chicken...one that was walking and squawking yesterday. I don't need any sort of meat product for a very long time. After, once we were really good and stuffed it was time for DANCE PARTY! Yes, that's right, Tom busted out the Ipod and speakers on his front porch and we all jammed to Locomotion, yes, THE Locomotion. I am having the time of my life here.

first pic!!!

ok, so not a great first pic in country but it's MY house in Giunagourou! this is my living room. i just got back from post week visit and can't wait to start working. i will post more pics once i get there now that i know how to save pictures with minimal space. i probably won't do many more while in Natitingou b/c it takes a good amount of time at the cyber.
