I'm officially in my village now and the past week and a half have flown by here! My house is pretty basic but I love it! I don't have electricity but I've just gotten used to going to bed at 8pm now. I realized that living here has really turned me into my parents (**disclaimer...mom and dad I love you and I mean that in the nicest way possible). I now go to bed early, wake up litterally when the roosters crow AND I've found myself wearing socks with sandals!
My village is pretty big and spread out so every day I take a bike ride around to try to see a different section of town. We have a few shops so I'll never go without ugali flour!
I've been pretty busy going to the primary school, seconday school, helping weigh babies at the clinic, and setting up my house. My favorite thing to do here is to go to church. The music is incredible! The older bibi sitting next to me this past sunday was convinced she was going to teach me the swahili words to each song by yelling them in my ear. I couldn't stop laughing!
Settling in has really gone amazingly well! I don't know how often I'll be able to update but my new address is:
Catherine Duthie, PCV
S.L.P 1081
Makambako, Iringa
Tanzania
I'd love to hear from you!
Love,
Cat
