Hello All,

As I sit here, I try to think of some interesting stories or antidotes to make those of you living in the developed world smile and wistfully wonder what it would be like to be living the simple life of a Peace Corps Volunteer, nothing comes to mind. I would like to regale you with stories of eating strange things in the jungle or hiking mountains. But, right now the interesting thing that has happened in the last week is:

I ate a Chiremoya yesterday, it is a green fruit that is sort of custardy on the inside - it is really good and one of my favorite fruits, well the inside is white and so are the tinsy tiny worms that like to make their home in the fruit of the Chiremoya. Only after eating about half the fruit did I realize the tickling sensations on my tongue is not the normal texture of the chiremoya and yes, upon further inspection I became slightly horrified and nauseous.

Yes, this is kinda disgusting, but all in all it was a healthy meal as I do feel my diet is lacking in protien. Whatever this blog just keeps getting worse and worse. I promise to do better for those of you that are actually following my postings. For now Ciao.
