Travel Plans

So I'm still in Boke for one more night, I'll be going back to my village tomorrow morning (too late to teach, unfortunately), mostly because I got kinda sick today (I hope it goes away soon, I had only thrown up once before this here in Guinea, but today I did 3 times within a couple of hours, though that was partly motion sickness from being in a car on a bad road)).

This will be a quick post because we're running on generator power (Boke power is out, again) and other people want to use the internet. Basically I'm just excited since my mom officially purchased my plane tickets for Europe. I'm flying to Paris in mid-July, hanging out with her and my aunt for a couple of weeks, taking a train to Spain, hanging out with Tim (and his family a little?) for a couple of weeks, then catching a flight from Madrid back to Guinea in mid-August. This will be my one big vacation while I'm here, though my friend Jarrad and I are talking about making a trek out to Togo for Christmas (they have the best food in West Africa from what I hear, and we generally both really want to go there to check it out).

Well, that's good for now. The only other bit of news is that my Country Director is visiting my village this week to see where I am and how things have gone, I'll probably post about that visit this weekend. Until then.
