Greetings from Guinea

Well today is another warm day in Guinea...surprising, no...but, every morning I wake up and it's cool, perhaps around 70 degrees and I still hope that it'll stay that way throughout the day. Inevitably it gets to be around 11am and my hopes are dashed again!

It's fine though, i'll be moving to my site in the cooler fouta region soon! Two more weeks of training in Pulaar and Guinean customs (thanks to my large host family!)

I don't have much time at the internet today...I was trying to upload some photos, but I don't think they'll go through today.

I'll be back in Conakry at the end of the month for Affectation (when I officially accept my 2 year peace corps assignment). This year marks PC Guinea's 20th consecutive year of service in country and they celebrate of the event is being combined with our Affectation...it should be quite a party.

After the few days in Conakry I'll be off to my regional capital of Labe for a week of gathering supplies for my house and saying my good-byes to the americans who i've become very acustom to seeing every day.

Thanks for the emails and support...and mom & dad...the package! It's great to hear news from home.

a plus,
amy
