Back to Africa

I am safely back in Zambia now after spending an unexpected night in lovely Johhanesberg (flight delays). When I got here I decided to get my head checked out to make sure my hair loss was not terminal. The medical staff confirmed my assumption that it was the malaria medication that was causing it. Just one of the many perks of being a Peace Corps volunteer in Africa. They loaded me up with sun screen and I have been cleared to go back to my site. Thanks to all of you who made it a memorable trip home. It means a lot to know that I have the support of so many great people in the States. You will all be happy to know that I just weighed myself and I gained 10 pounds while I was home! Job well done to all of you who were shoveling food down my throat.

Heading East

I am off to New York today. Thanks to all of you who made my trip to Cali a memorable one. I apologize to those who I didn't get to see. Hopefully I will catch up with you when I return again or when you come to visit me in Zambia.
