And this is one of me I took this morning... the latest look. Wow, I look the same as I did after I got over malaria in September. Wow. Anyway, miss you all!

Good books...
Well, almost all of my work here is wrapped-up. I'm getting ready to leave at the beginning of April. I've only got two months left to read every book on the planet. And you know, I think that I might actually be able to do it! Kidding. But I did just read two pretty ok books this week... _The Devil Wears Prada_ and _The Prince of Tides_. Try them out...

Choma... more of the same.
Well, I haven't been to good at this whole blog thing lately. I think it is mostly to do with the fact that my life isn't very interesting! Africa is great right now, rainy season, everything is green and lovely, going away brai tomorrow. Oh, a brai is the Afrikaner term for a barbecue. John, the Peace Corps leader in Choma is leaving to go back to the States. He's been here for almost three years and wants to get on with it.
Amazingly, my two closest friends, Mathew and Erica, are both staying here for a third year. Mathew will be in the capital and Erica will be in the tourism capital, Livingstone. I love Zambia, but I'm on the first plane home as soon as I do my Close of Service.
I'll try to put a couple more photos on the site before I leave. My friend Olga and I went to Natalie's village and spent the night... we did it Zam-style... three to a bed. Horrible sleep and cranky for two days afterward!
I miss you all...

Swakopmund and HAPPY 2007!
I spent New Year's Eve on the beach. The wind was cold and there was a huge bonfire. I had a great time! So far I've just been hanging out in Swakop, but I plan on trying to get on that camel or maybe take a flight over Skeleton Coast if I can afford it. Regardless, swimming in these icy waters is fun and I'm about as sunburned as one can get. All good... I already feel it in my heart that 2007 is going to be my best year ever... I hope you all feel the same way!
