Just letting you know I'm reading
Hi, I just stumbled upon your blog and as it turns out I am leaving for Africa in a few months to teach math so I figured I would just read through your experience to prepare myself. Just curious, how old were you when you left? How much teaching experience did you have in English? Hope your time turned out well all and all (I'm assuming you're about done). Thanks, ~Andrea

thanks for your updates...
Hi Rosemary, my name is Stacey, I'm an education student in Canada and I've been reading your updates in Burkina with great interest.... I've been traveling through some of West Africa before, further south, and am thinking of returning in December after finishing school (happy graduation to me!). Mali and Burkina Faso are two countries I am dying to see, so I wanted to get some updates of daily life (I'm not a "hotel" traveler). Thank you for your stories!!! I look forward to the next one. p.s. the black worms don't sound so bad...did you ever have bushrat? It's actually quite yummy!

three-inch black worms
Is comparing the taste of food to wet caterpillars similar to the tastes like chicken comparison? To'o with black worms just tastes like wet cater pillars...the fries from the Banfora MacDonalds tastes like wet catapillars..."the cat" prefers large spiders because they taste like wet caterpillars...

"Amazing Race"
For the last two Sunday nights, our Amazing Race tv show, was in Burkina Faso..........one of their destinations to race to. I think they go next to Croatia.............but it was interesting that they happened to go to Burkina Faso. Like whoever heard of the place before you ended up there? Did you hear anything about it? Just curious. I'm sure it would have been over a month ago that they were actually there filming. Seems they also said it was one of the "rest locations" for the "racers". Have a wonderful Christmas.........wherever it takes you. Love, Aunt J

Very cool
hello Rosemary! My name is chris cody and I have been checking out this blog of yours. I can't tell you how jealous I am. I have been studying west africa for a year now and I just get more and more interested. I found your blog while I was traveling in south america (and stuck in Peru because of striking transportation workers.) It just sounds awesome. I wish you the best of luck and hope to read more of your stories. CDC

Sounds like the village that you are in is pretty empty during the day Rosie? What else have you been doing, other than planting trees and hiking? When does school start up? Do you have to go on all of your traveling adventures alone, or do you usually meet up with someone and go together? Other than the bugs, which I'm not too fond of also, are there any other nasty things like unusually large snakes or rats, etc there? I love all of your blog entries! They are really exciting to read about. Glad to hear that you got my package! Hope you enjoyed it! Glad it made it really! :) Miss you cuz.~Jaim

"GREAT BLOGS"
Hi Rosemary: There's no need to change anything about your blogs. All of it is wonderful. I don't have any specific questions to ask in that you're doing a great job as is.........so keep up the good work. How are the BUGS over there..........mosquitoes, lice, spiders, etc. Do they have any real troublesome ones besides those I mentioned? Not being a bug fan, that would no doubt be my major concern..........the creepy crawlies of the area. Otherwise, I really have no questions........in that your blogs are very interesting and informational just like they are. Take care and keep 'em coming!! Can you believe you're nearing your "PC year" already? Wow, how time does fly when you're having a good time, right? Love, Aunt J

"c'mon rains"
Hi Rosemary: Keep up the interesting "journal writings". Love them. I've even shared them with others........they're so fascinating. I think I should've concentrated on being in the the PC when I was younger. What an awesome experience. Saw where those colorful plastic kettles (tea kettle looking things) are used for everything....but are plastic?? Did you visit the Sindu Peaks as yet, or take any Djembe classes? Fascinating!! Glad to hear this is a safer place, albeit the DUST!! I guess the 45km's north eliminated the greenery in Bobo, right? C'mon rains!! Have fun in Satiri and keep creating those memories each and every day just like you are. Glad to hear your mom's packages are REALLY MAKING IT NOW, TOO. Hugs always, Aunt J

Bobo address correct
Yes! This address is right (I changed it - it was the Ouaga address, which works, but this is better). It's been tested, too - mom's two packages came within a month!

New Years Eve Countdown
I haven't been to Freetown in a very long time, but from what I remember a good number people generally are in chuch for the 'countdown'. The parties begin after midnight. Then on New Year day there's a mass exodus to the beaches in the late morning.
