I just wrote a whole big long post about my spaghetti making experience,but true to my tech life here in senegal then internet went out and none of it was saved. I am now too frustrated and tired to repeat myself, but it was a great expereince. My family loved my food, and my sisters had fun cooking with me. It was also great because they learned I could indeed cook, so no more jokes about that, and they really appriciated that I spent my own money to buy everything. It of course had more sugar than I would normally use and Jumbo spice cubes (boullion cubes). I will definitely cook with my new family.

Update on this week. I am communting to Thies each morning for our counterpart workshop. This is basically so we can get to know them, and plan our first 2 months at site. Since this is the time we can't really work and need to just meet people.

Then on saturaday, all 61 of us are renting a beach house in Popenguine. It will hopefully be a blast. Also we are all kind of getting frustrated and cabin fever so a day at the beach will be great.
