Alive and Well....

I'm going to try to keep this one short, as there are others waiting for the computer. I, along with 37 other trainees arrived in Cameroon on Saturday night. We went through with out losing any baggage and had no customs problems thanks to being under the Peace Corps wing.

Our group of trainees are quickly becoming close friends, which makes all these changes so much easier. I can't imagine coming here without them.

Training started today about health and we had our language assesments. We also began our shot series that we have to get for the next 3 days, Typhoid, Hep A, ....plus some more. They have really kept us all very, very busy and will continue to do so for the next 9 to 11 weeks. It is going to be very intense and tres difficile.

more later

Bienvenue au Cameroon! Good luck with stage - I'll be there for a week in July so hopefully we'll meet up. Best wishes,

The wife says you're already sampling the native dishes. My school isn't too hard, but there is still studying involved with a mix of 95+ heat with high humidity. Grilling and beer seems to be a constant which is fine for me. It actually seems to be the cheaper way to go with food. A couple more weeks and I'll be in NM.
Minich is in Ghana right now, until the 30th I think. We are going to visit them on the way out the ABQ, along with a stop in New Orleans.
