Long December

Its been a while since I wrote last. Plenty has gone on since then. New Years was exciting. The host fam made an American meal - we even had french fries! It was nice of them and a total surprise to me.

Im still looking for a good little house to rent. Ive seen a few but none are quite right. New Years Day I looked at 4 but 3 were far from where I work and 1 was in the center of town and filthy. Oh well, someday my prince will come... er... uh... someday a good house will come. Peace Corps rules say that I stay with the host fam until the end of Jan, so Im with them either way.

Plenty of people have been sick in town. I think Ive avoided getting the bug somehow. That makes me happy.

I got two packages from home. One of them had a journal I've really been wanting and I also got a great, soft, warm (not black) jacket. I appreciate the support from friends and family back in the States.
