I'm done with my first full semester of teaching here! It was a pretty good semester, but now I am enjoying some time away from the classroom.
For the first week or so I hung out at or around my site. I had some other volunteers visit me at my house. These visits frequently revolve around food and this was no exception. We made peanut sauce rice, pork tacos and baked coffee cake, brownies, banana bread and a chocolate cake.

We also got into the village a couple of times to watch World Cup games. The villagers love meeting new guests that I have over and it's always fun to watch soccer in such a different environment than the sports bars that we're used to. I'll try and get a picture of the village bar where we watch games.
I have been working on an outfit to where for the Fourth of July here. Here is a sneak peak. More pictures after the event!
After my site, I went with another volunteer to a neighboring site for a night, where we checked out the health clinic and had some amazing home-made coconut curry!
Now I am in Iringa preparing for my flight up to Arusha tomorrow. I will meet my aunt, uncle and cousin up there and will travel for a few days with them. They have told me they want a cultural experience here so after being pampered in the touristy north, we will come down to my area and spend some time in my banking town and even a night at my house! They have been thoroughly warned, but somehow they still want to check it out.
Tonight I am just relaxing and watching some World Cup games in town and making reservations for when we return to the south. More on the secon half of break in July! Here's a pretty picture I guess.
