Onward...

Hey you. Krissy here again. I said goodbye to Lydia yesterday night after a wonderful last day in Ouidah, swimming at the Ambassadors pool, and a yummy-o dinner at a restaurant near the airport. I haven't ever spent that much on dinner since coming to Benin, but I figured it was the end of a celebratory couple of weeks and really, from here on out, I plan on eating rice and beans until my COS date. (close of service)

Anyway, Lydia will probably have a couple more blog posts for you, but for now, you're stuck with me. It was really great having her here - to see my life through new eyes. The things that stuck out to her, to write about, are things I don't even notice in my every day life. So I hope you enjoyed my life through her eyes these last few posts!!

Now, getting back in to the swing of work is crazy. I just finished my quarterly report, need to fill out some paperwork for requesting to be replaced in my village, re-submit my rewritten latrine grant proposal, go shopping for spelling bee prizes, pick up the t-shirts, go to the bank, get some meds.... a whole lot of stuff! So I am going to sign off for now to get stuff done. I hope to get back to post tomorrow but it might not be until Tuesday. We shall see.

Love to all. Lydia, I miss you already! Hope you had a great trip home. And that your sunburn isn't too painful. Darn tropical tan :)
