This one features a random collection of photos from my last couple months. I haven't been updating, but I'm hoping the pictures will give you a good idea of what I've been up to.
I went on a few trips to schools and outer islands with work, my friend Kris came to visit, we
celebrated Diwali, spent some time in David's village, started
teaching organic gardening at a vocational school and have done a bit of
art.
This time of year gets really really really x 100 slow. The heat is in full blast and the rains have been coming daily. Last year I went a bit crazy because I was so board, but this year I have a pretty good plant to tackle the hundreds of hours I'll have to simply hang out.
If anyone is interested in food politics, here's a fun website http://civileats.com/
I am doing very well and continuing to become the woman I want to be. I miss home so much right now though, especially with all my friends and family in the bay for the holidays. I hope you all are doing great and are staying warm. Know that I think of you all often, miss and love you all dearly.
much love,
monica
