so it's been a while..a little over two months ago I sort of realized that it was time for me to get out more..do some travelling, visit some volunteers and get to see more of the country...so in a nutshell, that's what i've been up to..
a few weeks back i went to fier..got to hang out with quite a few volunteers there and had a great time. quick thanks to susan for hosting...and chris and kristEn for hanging out...one of the things i like most about peace corps are the conversations i have with the other volunteers, learning more about them and what they've accomplished...i'm lucky to be surrounded by some amazing people...
more recently, we had thanksgiving in tirana...fortunately for the volunteers we had the opportunity to be hosted by american families or the marines for dinner...a group of four of my friends..they treated us like royalty..which was weird, because usually when you're around servicemen you want to do the work for them...the food was amazing as well...all in all it was as best a substitute for being home that i could've hoped for...
oh, and before the festivities we also got to play a little football...i think this game is an annual tradition, and the volunteers hadn't won in the past..but we put together a good squad and pulled out the win..had we played tackle i think the marines would've had the advantage...but we represented for the finessers our there...here are some pics..
did you make the marines/your fellow volunteers watch your es high school tape of you scoring 4 touchdowns in one half? probably intimitated them....

ReplyDeleteThank god you have great forearms. I bet that's what won the game. It looks like you're having such an amazing experience!
ReplyDeletei think that forearm moment will now become unforgettable to me...not because it's unforgettable of course, but because you won't let me forget!
