A Visitor!

So I'm in Kamsar for the day once again. I was here last week, and even wrote a lengthy post about a funeral I attended and some paint I'd bought - but then the computer froze/spazzed out and I lost it all. I assure you it was a great loss to the world of online travel literature. I may resurrect it one day, but not today.

So I'm in Kamsar despite the fact that I had plans to bike with one of my students to his house today. I got a text message at 8am from my friend Jarrad - saying he was in Boké with nothing to do and wanted to go to Kamsar. I planned on going up to Boké tomorrow anyway when the mail-run (Peace Corps car delivering my mail, comes once a month) drops by - I would catch a ride with them back up to Boké. I left a note for my student telling him I was sorry but I had to cancel, and caught a car up to Kamsar to meet Jarrad and get my usual market/internet stuff taken care of.

So now we're here in the internet place, soon to go to the pool and then we're going back together to Bintimodia where he'll see my village for the first time, I'll show him around a bit, then tomorrow we'll both catch the Peace Corps car to Boké, spend a night there, and he'll keep going with them to drop off his mail while I'll take Tiffany's bike back with me to Bintimodia for Tim to use while he's here (I'm thinking of biking from Boké to Bintimodia, but it's like 50k, and I've been lazy lately, so I might just toss it on a bush taxi and call it a day).

Anyway, my internet time is running low and I unfortunately won't get another chance for a week or more (the internet in Boké is apparently down) so I'm going to do some quick research on plane prices and then go read by the pool. O'oo.
