I'm no meteorologist....but this doesn't look like a sunny day ahead!
And, on another note....Happy birthday Dad, from across the world!

Day 30 - January 30,. 2013
Part of a mural at the PC training center. Especially fitting for the day since a cyclone is heading our way in the next day or two. Tropical storms....not my favorite.
Day 28 - January 28, 2013
Self-timer pictures are funny. Hanging out with a cool group of volunteers at a Training Design and Management workshop at the PC training center.

Day 27 - January 27, 2013
You know what I love about Tana? Real showers with hot water! Its definitely a step up from a bucket.

Day 26 - January 26, 2013
Card against Humanity, homemade guacamole, drinks and fellow PCVs... I'm back in the capital!
Day 25 - January 25, 2013
Meet Sylvanio. One of my regulars. You can see him around Tsarasambo, usually naked, and sometimes in a girls dress...He will impress you with his English and Italian vocabulary which consists of two words..."bye bye" and "ciao." He's a constant source of entertainment on slow days in town, especially when he shows up at my door by himself...a very independent 2 year old!
Day 24 - January 24, 2013
Stamps may be outdated in the States, but not in Mada. My official document had to be stamped three times, with three separate stamps.
Day 23 - January 23, 2013
Impending storm coming from the ocean. Looks like there will be another rainy night!
Day 22 - January 22, 2013
I had a visitor in my shower today... pre-PC this huge snail would have disgusted me...now, I can say I've seen worse!
Day 21 - January 21, 2013
A typical meeting...men at the table, and women sitting on the ground in the background. (For those who know about my library project...this building will one day be full of books!)
Day 20 - January 20, 2013
I think I can fairly say its rainy season...this 15 liter bucket was empty when I went to bed and full when I woke up. It is a good thing my house only leaks a little!
Day 19 - January 19, 2013
I shower in the jungle. Pretty soon I won't be able to get through the door. It might be time to buy a machete and do some trimming...
Day 18 - January 18, 2013
No picture today because my camera is out of batteries. That's life in the ambanivolo with no electricity. But, if I could take a picture today...it would be a pineapple that I bought for 15 cents. Sometimes I love tropical islands.
Day 17 - January 17, 2013
At a community meeting to talk about new pumps in town and clean water at last! I'm not sure why we're raising our hands, but this is pretty typical since I rarely have any idea about what is going on around me.
Day 16 - January 16, 2013
Sometimes the most exciting part of my day is being able to take a late afternoon nap in my big, but really uncomfortable, bed.
Day 15 - January 15, 2013
It may be deathly hot with 85% humidity (true story, I looked it up...), but at least we have mangos! Breakfast, lunch, and dinner...this is my signature meal during the hot season.
Day 14 - January 14, 2013
I finally had a chance to go to the post office (2 hours away) and picked up a care package from friends in Israel! Full of sweet and savory treats and much needed reading material. Can't wait to plan a trip to visit post-PC!
Day 13 - January 13, 2013
Just a lazy day at home…reading, cleaning, and taking
pictures for my town. It took 30 minutes to get a picture of this baby not
crying. Apparently, I’m extremely terrifying to a 2 year old.
January 12, 2013- Day 12
There’s a snake sleeping in my kabone! This is one of those things I forgot I would have to worry about once I got back to site... he seemed to be nocturnal which made it prettydifficult to use the bathroom today. I had to wait until night time...
January 11, 2013- Day 11
I barely had time to set down my bags before neighborhood
kids were alerted to my arrival and my house was FULL. Corey’s Day Care-open
for business once again.
Thursday, January 10, 2013
Day Ten- January 10, 2013
Still holding onto shreds of America....this was dinner tonight, and it was delicious!
Day Nine - January 9, 2013
Welcome back to the third world! First stop, the doctor to get some medicine for my foot....not going to go into details, but yay for antibiotics.
Wednesday, January 9, 2013
Day Eight-January 8, 2013
Waiting in Paris for a 10 hour flight to Madagascar...It was a really long day.

Day Six - January 6, 2013
My trip to Boston was more like a food tour of Boston, and I have no complaints. Brunch at Gaslight with Alyssa's friend....omelettes, Bloody Marys and good company!
Day Five- January 5, 2013
Coffee shops. We walked all through Boston today, stopping at multiple coffee shops to warm up, re-caffeinate and meet friends. It was a great way to see the city!
Day Four - January 4, 2013
Arrived in Boston for a weekend of eating, drinking and exploring with Alyssa playing tour guide. A good way to spend my last weekend in the States!
Day Three - January 3, 2013
Suitcase is packed and ready to go to Madagascar. Its sad to leave home, but I'm excited for a weekend in Boston with Alyssa, and then back to the tropics!
Day Two- January 2, 2013
Driving through the Midwest on a cold, snowy day. The trip from Ohio to Michigan reminds me of college breaks, and makes me thankful for paved roads (and minimal potholes), driving laws, and heat!
Day One - January 1, 2013
Dinner in Columbus with my best friends in the world. A great way to start the new year. Great friends, great food and a great city. I hope this foreshadows the year to come, even if we are spread out across the world!
365 Days of Pictures
Inspired by my sister-in-law and cousins who have all begun their own 365 projects, I've decided to give it a go! While it might be a challenge to keep this blog up to date with the lack of electricity/internet in my Malagasy hut, I will do my best, and update when I'm in the land of internet!
