Second Site Visit Preparation

Greetings....I am back in Lusaka for a few hours, where all of the Peace Corps Zambia trainees are meeting to buy groceries in preparation for our second site visit. It is exciting any time we go into Lusaka, but this time is special because we are preparing to visit our actual sites for the first time. We will be at our site for 1 week!!!! I will be the Boma (town) volunteer in Kolomo in the Southern Province. This is the site I wanted because there is great trasportation in Southern....plus the fact that Livingstone is there makes it all the more attractive to me, because I am a big city girl!!!! I love city life. But, there is something to be said for a quiet life in the country.

Okay, down to business....I have not received any letters or emails from hardly anyone. I know that the postal system is pretty slow here in Zambia but I do expect emails every now and then. It's very exciting to check email and get a message from home. Also, I would love pictures of people....anything!!! Think of me in a rural village, far from home and everyone I know and love and not even a picture to remember you by. I have to rely on memory....and my memory is very short.

Well, I hope to hear from someone soon...I love and miss you all!!!!!!

Kimberly, I love your posts and I've read them all. Hang in there, girlfriend. The mail is very slow. I know. (The mother of another PCT.)
