Boo.

They better get their s&*t together over in Guinea...

So far it's looking like I can return at the end of the summer. The economy continues to recover and the Prime Minister continues to do good work. I'm signed up to go back and sincerely hope that the soldiers don't thwart my plans!

In the meantime I'm off to Minneapolis, where I'll see my brother's band and deliver Zach and Kelley's wedding gift and pick up Camilo, then back to Wisconsin for a couple days. After that Cam and I are driving to Meadville, where I'll continue on to Pittsburgh, NYC, Baltimore, DC and North Carolina before driving home and starting a babysitting job until the end of summer.

Unless you hear from me on the blog, assume that I'm headed back to Guinea!!

Jen,

Hi! My name is Shari and I am leaving for the Peace Corps in a few months. I have just finished my medical and dental stuff, so I do not know which country in Africa I am going to yet. I have been reading blogs and I came across yours and it is great! It is really nice to read about someone else’s experience. I wanted to ask you a question though- what were your reasons for turning down your first invitation and did your recruiter understand? There is one country that I would not go to and I have a pretty good feeling that they are planning on sending me there. Could you tell me how you went about doing that? Thanks- I know you do not know me at all- but from one Wisconsinite to another, it would be great. Thank you! Shari (shariholstein@hotmail.com)
