The Mid-Service: Yaounde
Fun times with many of my training group collegues in Yaounde this week. It was a week jam-packed with stool samples, blood tests and other bodily fluid evaluations. Still waiting for my results to come in, but I'm hoping for an undulating malaria level and worms.
We crashed at a foreign service officer's beautiful house (he's gone having a baby) and watched his American television. Dozens of new movies in the peace corps transit house to watch and I actually had a bratwurst from one of the fancy supermarches.
Sick boyfriend and closed sushi buffet are the only troubles I face in this semi-developed wonderland. Here are some photos form the foreign service house and out on the town in Yaounde.
Charles wears a jersey and an apron. He made the white sauce and complained all night that my red sauce was crappy and inferior.
We made noodles with two kinds of sauce, garlic bread and salad for a dinner celebrating our friends Grace and Rich and their recent marriage. Rich works at the embassy now, but was a Peace Corps volunteer that trained us.
Reese and Charles next to the MAHIMA supermarket where you can find Havana Club rum and feta cheese... very rare.
At the foreign service house party... From left to right: Ben, Milo (dog), Me, Reese, Lindsey, Charles, Yune (back r to left), Nate, Matt, Grace, Rich, Megan and Kazaam? (francophone, so we didn't talk much).
Update: I have and am being treated for ECOLI!

How time changes conversations..."Mom, WE DO NOT TALK ABOUT POOP!" I am so glad that you are finally being treated for your E-coli problem. I hope Reese is feeling better as well.
Love, Mom
Current weather in Chicago...rain, getting colder, snow possible, snow for the Bears game on Sunday at Soldier Field. Brrrr.
Hi Kelsey,
We have a friend that had E-coli and it was bad! We sure hope you're feeling much better by now and receiving good treatment. You and Reese take real good care, okay? He's pretty cute. :) We miss you and enjoy reading your blog very much.
Love, Aunt Sharon
Wow! Check out the list of hot girls!
