Back To Maase...

After an amazing trip to the Volta region, we are now on our way back to Maase and back to work. Volta was amazing: beautiful mountains, green plants, and really chill people. The weather was cooler and, believe it or not, we went hiking to a waterfall. Yes, I went hiking... and I only fell like two or three times. My fellow trainees are discovering exactly how clumsy I am!

For the 4th of July, we convinced the hotel manager to build us a bonfire, so we sort of got improvised "fireworks."

Well, I hope everyone is having an excellent summer and I hope everyone enjoyed their 4th of July! Stay tuned for more updates, exciting things are coming. I think I'll finally meet my counterpart in a couple of weeks!

Peace, Katie

Emily and I were talking and hoping there was someway we could come see you before you come home. It's a long shot but let us know if you'd even want us to come. Glad to see you are doing well. Emily and I have decided to do a "destination wedding" in (I think) Jamaica in January. That's all the news I have though!

Oh yeah, all the peace corp books I read talk a lot about music on cassette tapes (not even on cds). These are rather old books (the newest we have is from 2001) but I was just wondering if it was true.

I'm happy I thought to come on here and read up on your adventures. It's exciting that you're getting to see such beautiful places, and since I'm not there to see them with you, thanks for sharing them with us. It sounds great, and I think it's cool that you're now learning more about your area of work. I miss you and keep on going!

(PS: Hahaha! You hiked...:)!)
