The End is Near

So I just took a majority of my stuff to the Peace Corps office. It's just starting to sink in that I have just over a week left in the village and a little under a month left as a Peace Corps volunteer.

For the good, bad, or ugly life here has become so normal to me. It's become harder to picture what life is like in America. I know there's less thatch. Less chickens running around. And a lot of fast food.

It's bittersweet when I think about leaving. There are definitely things that I am going to miss. My kids, eating village chicken, and living a life so tied to nature. But, there are also things that I am definitely looking forward to. Actually understanding what people around me are saying, my friends and family, and of course....WASHING MACHINES!
