So we made it to our volunteer site visit. I am with Jessica at a PCV named Megan’s house right in the middle of Timor. We are up in the mountains and it is beautiful. We really haven’t explored the village yet but its gorgeous so far. The Land Cruiser we took here sure had to work hard! The roads are horrible! The driver was wonderful (he works for Peace Corps and it seems like all he does is drive). The only issue I had was the seats in the car are two benches facing each other so I got kind of car sick. It was SOOOO bumpy!!! It took about 4 hours-we stopped in Manatuto to have lunch then headed the rest of the way up the mountains. There are 5 of us here staying with 2 volunteers. Sash, Mike, and Ally are with Emily and Jessica and I are down the hill with Megan. For dinner we cooked spaghetti and bread. It was so good! Emily lives kind of on her own, it’s a really cool set up. She has her own living quarters in front of a family that lives separate in the back. She cooks for herself. Megan lives with a family but she cooks for herself. It’s so inspiring to see what they are actually doing and how they are living.
We also had chocolate cake, OH MY GOD!!!! I didn’t realize how much I missed chocolate till tonight! After cake we just sat around and talked a till about 9:45 when we walked back to Megan’s house.
We also got to eat Doritos today!!!
