Quick update

So this week I’ve been in Praia getting ready for some training with PC, and also seeing the sights and enjoying life in “civilization,” which basically means I’ve been eating… constantly. There are like, restaurants here. Real ones. Last night I had schwarma in pita bread and grilled goat meat with onions and peppers. I nearly died from happiness. There is an American style grocery store here with everything you can imagine. It’s completely unreal and I was wigging out a little bit. The volunteers who live in this city and on this island have COMPLETELY different lives than I have. Anyway, more on all that later. For now, here are some pics I took in Cruzinha last weekend before I left.

Povocon and Ponto do Sol

So it occurred to me that I frequently mention Povocon and Ponto do Sol (the two "big" cities on my side of the island), but I donºt think Iºve ever put any pictures up. Anyway, below are a few, to give you a frame of reference.

Eskada Caxtig

People who live up the hill in Povocon call the stairs a caxtig, which means punishment.
