The week of shadowing has come and gone and the peace corps trainees that were following me around for a week are now all back safe and sound to their training site and will be leaving in a couple of days for the community based training portion of their indoctrination of all things peace corps.

Shadowing
Yesterday the people that will be shadowing me for the next week arrived and we had a nice little braai last night. It has certainly been nice to meet a bunch of the new group over the past week or so and I am looking forward to getting to know them over the next year [...]
Georgia Bowl Hopes
Well operation GGINTNTG took a bit of a hit on Saturday with the demolition of Uconn by West Virginia, Kentucky making a great comeback then blowing it in OT, and LSU losing to Arkansas. At the moment it looks like a pretty good lock that the national championship game is going to be West Virginia [...]
Thanksgiving Update
I spent this Thanksgiving Day in Windhoek at the house of some people that work at the American Embassy. Erne and Gaspar have been amazing for the Peace Corps volunteers here in the country as they allow us to stay at their place whenever we are in the capital and provide us with food and [...]

Shame Shame Shame
Something really frightening happened earlier tonight as I was making dinner and watching “My Boss’ Daughter,” which should have been the first warning sign. As I looked down on one of the beds that serve as couches in the living room I saw four celebrity rumor magazines which in and of itself isn’t that weird [...]
Move to Gobabis
Got a new camera last week to replace my small point and shoot that has been vitually unusable since almost right after I arrived in country. I have still taken over 3000 pictures since I have been here but there are a ton of shots that I have missed as it is not really feasible [...]
Early Termination
Last week we had another member of our group go home bringing the grand total to thirteen in our first year, though most of them have had compelling reason. We lost four during training.
