Ration the Passion
I'm finally able to post!!! Thank you to everyone for the emails and I'm sorry I couldn't reply to all of them. I miss you Mom, Dad, Grandma's, Grandpa's, Cathy, Bill, Sara, Chuck J(great job in the 100 miler), Chuck W, Katy, Ruth, Sharon, Carol, Andrea and everyone else who has emailed me.
Zambia is wonderful! I'm living in the Fisheries village of Mwekera. I live w/ my host mom, her sister, and niece. We don't have electricity and I have the only piece of furniture in the house - a bed. My mom is a good cook but not as good as my MOM!!!! I'm in class from 8 - 17 Monday through Friday and 8 - 12:30 on Saturdays. I'm in Kitwe right now and it's a crazy place. The market is nuts and you have to watch your back but it's worth the experience.
I don't have alot to report right now other than everything is going well and for those that have been trying to call me....keep trying. I have a Zam phone and this is the Zam network! (In other words - not very good.)
I finally got to ride my bike and the trails are rugged but fun - it's a great workout. Speaking of workouts.....I haven't ran since the day I left Chicago!
I haven't been sick yet but I'm one of the few. We've had a few parasites, lots of diarrhea, and one case of malaria (he's fine) in my training group. The people are great and we all help each other out!
Please keep emailing me and I'm sorry if I don't reply but I pay by the minute :(
I'll post again soon and I'll plan it ahead of time!

Hi,Christi - What a joy it was to talk to you today. Grandpa and I are so glad your dad called us and told us we could probably talk to you if we called right away, so we did. You sound great and that makes us feel so much better and you sounded like you were right here at home! I sure enjoyed reading your latest blog - that is so neat that you can do this to keep everyone informed on what is going on in Zambia. I meant to ask you, are you writing in your journal every day or so?? Love, Grandma D
Brooks,
Here are some Peace Corps / Zambia blogs that I have found. If you know of any others that I have missed please let me know. Thanks!
