My Site!

Ne y windaga everyone.  Thats good afternoon in Moore.  I am
currently visiting my site and am absolutely in love with the place.
I am replacing a departing volunteer, the amazing Celinia, in a
village called Siniena, 12km south of Banfora.  I am in the region
called Cascades, named for the waterfalls.  My house has 2 bedrooms,
an indoor shower room and electricity!  Not running water naturally.
This is as rainforest as it gets in Burkina, so I am excited, and will
continue using runon sentences because the period is inconviniently
placed here.  My french is progressing, there are 9 levels of
progression, novice, intermediate and advanced, each with
low/mid/high, I started at novice mid and am now at inter low, needing
to make interhigh by the end of training.  I will begin learning
Dioula sometime in the near future as well.  I will return to Banfora
tomorrow, so I will post more info and maybe pics :)
