Boke Summary

Alright, so I'm headed out to find a car back to Bintimodia, and I have about 10 minutes or so of battery life on the laptop (it charged with the electricity last night) to post a quick summary of the weekend.

I went to Kamsar thursday and met up with Tiffany by the pool, got some stuff from the grocery store (shampoo, a scrubbing sponge, deodorant, and olive oil) and also some supplies from the lady in the market who sells good vegetables (1 kg fresh green beans, and a cadeau bell pepper). Tiffany and I made it back to Boke early so I got some more stuff in the Boke market that I've been needing in Bintimodia (tomato paste, margarine, laundry soap...).

Afterwards I found Jarrad in the Boke house and we ended up grabbing dinner from the restaurant at the bottom of the hill (possibly the only restaurant in Boke, we're not sure). The lady knows us both - especially Jarrad - since we usually go there when we're in town. She sell riz gras, chicken, spagetti with meat, or a whole fried fish along with a few sodas and yogurt.

We hung out at the house for most of the weekend, we had the option of going out with one other volunteer to a swimming hole, and then to the nightclub last night - but we were mostly looking forward to lounging around the volunteer house, reading and not going to a Guinean nightclub.

So that was my weekend - reading in the volunteer house, making food, making trips to the market for stuff, and getting internet business taken care of while it's free and the battery lasts.

Now I'm off to my village and probably won't make it back on here until the 28th, though I may make a Kamsar trip before then for supplies. Until then.
