WISHLIST

So this may be a little presumptive, but I thought it might be worth a shot. In Praia I talked to several volunteers wo had a lot of success with an Amazon.com wishlist. Bascially they picked out all sorts of goodies like a wedding registry, and then they got lots of packages. Prolly I'm grasping at straws here, but I figured it couldn't hurt.

Some of the stuff I put on there are just books and stuff that I'm wishing I had, and some of the stuff is for the Youth Summer Club that I and a few members of my association are putting on this summer. (Last day of school here is July 4th.) So far we've planned a few fildtrips and a camp out and a soccer tourney for the kids. Anyway, I thought if I could get some fun beach supplies and sporting goods it would make things a little more interesting.

Anyway, if you're a reader of this blog, or a volunteer coming in July, or a friend or family member or stranger wantin' to send me a little love, you can find a few ideas (from 1 penny to $20) of things I'm craving. I think all you have to do is search for my wishlist on Amazon under my email address, which is txcaley@gmail.com.
If sending presents isn't your thing, I ALWAYS appreciate a good long e-mail or news stories from the real world. (Today I heard that some lunatic burned down the Governer's mansion in Austin, Texas and I gotta admit it hurt a little bit.)

I'm back to Santo Antao tomorrow (After 3 weeks on Santiago) and I can't wait. I miss my friends and my village and am looking forward to sleeping in my own bed for a change. Lots of Luv, I'll put up pics and stories from the past 21 days as soon as I get home and have them hook up the internet again. :-)
