Flash Problems

Well, I’ve had my first electronic tragedy in Africa. Today my flash drive decided it didn’t want to be recognized by my computer. I had to initialize it (which I never remember doing in the first place) and ended up having to erase everything on it. I don’t remember everything that was on there. Most of it was not too important, and the rest I’ll realize down the line when I’m looking for it.

Blog updates were lost so I will half-heartedly recreate them here. Highlights:
The PACA activity went really well. We taught hygiene practices to the tofu coop and they were really receptive. Even if they were lying to our faces, it felt productive.

I discovered two wonderful candy bars here: King Tat and Bravo. One is make in Oman, one in Turkey. King Tat is 100 times better than the Kit Kat that it’s modeled after. I may have bought about 10 candy bars in the last week. I’ll brush my teeth extra this week!

Things I will always be delighted to receive in a package:
Dark chocolate
Luna bars (any flavor but Smore)
Little notes of love and support
Books and random magazines
Truffles
Spices and seasoning
Movies and TV and music (in whatever form you can send it in)
Andes Mints
Dried fruit/Trail mix

No pressure to send anything!

Mail update: I have received several cards. They generally took 3-4 weeks to arrive. Thanks for sending them! It’s really nice to see people’s handwriting, somehow that’s comforting.
