Finally a post

Hello all. wow where do i begin. first of all sorry for the typos. These french keyboards are a bit frustrating. But i ill get better with practice.

I visited my post for a week. It is amazing. The people are awesome, but very poor, and the children adorable and always ready to kick around a soccer ball...er I mean the football. Get out your Togo maps. It is northwest of the city of Atakpame. About two fifths of the way up the country. If you find the town of Nyamasilla north of Atakpame, then go 42 kilometers west. My post is halfway between the main highway and the Ghana border, deep in the bush.

The town is tiny and the countryside looks like what you imagine the African Serengetti looking like when you close your eyes. Tall grass. Rolling hills in the distance. Dusty roads. I would go for a walk and half expect a lion to jump out at me, but dont worry, theyre not around my village.

Training in Agou Nyogbo is also going great. Today we had to do a skit for our host families. We all played famous Americans. I was pop superstar Justin Timberlake, and naturally, now the whole town is infatuated with my dance moves. My host family is cool. I have three sisters, plus a bunch of other little kids in my compound.

We are going on a field trip next week to Northern Togo. It should be awesome, not unlike my french speaking abilities, which have drastically improved.

I have to wrap this up. I will post something better and more entertaining when I go to a city with better internet. Thanks for reading and I miss everyone. Oh and my health is relatively good. Just some um...interesting stomach issues every once in awhile. And my malaria medication makes me prone to visual hallucinations and very vivid dreams, which can either be a curse or a blessing. Bye for now.
