Site Assignment

I actually made a post yesterday, and maybe it'll show up, too. If not I'll fill in later. We got our site assignments today. I am going to be near Kita, in the Kayes region. I am going to be 5k away from another PCV from my stage, and her town is my market town. She is actually from Boulder, so we are going to hook our parents up and send them out to lunch together. Then our banking town is, indeed, Kita, and another really great PCV is going to be there, so we'll see her often, too. And, she has a REFRIGERATOR! I'll have my own place, right next door to my host family. I'll be replacing somebody who was well liked and really liked her village and the work they did with her. And best of all, Sam and Mark are in my same region. They are kind of far away in my same region, but we'll be able to visit, and we'll get together for regional training things, too. Kita is considered the peanut capital of Mali (peanuts equal protein!!!) and apparently it is really pretty and lots of fun things to do. Well, back to homestay for a week - more later...
