Hey, I'm in Zambia!

Hey all, guess what? I'm in Zambia. Yes, after walking around the training town, Chongway, for a few hours or more, I found my way to a working, and ONLINE!!, computer. Zambia's a nice place. The people here are amazing. Whether you're walking or biking furiously, each Zambia will stop you, greet you, ask you where you're going, if you're married, what church you go to, and etc.. The food here was gross for a week and then truely and absolutely amazing afterward. All I really eat is balls of corn meal, lettuce-type-greens, tomato soup, and chicken - a truely Zambian lunch, dinner, and afternoon snack. My fellow PC trainees are amazing and I'm having a lot of fun with them. My host family are so extremely generous, welcoming, warm people. I'm sorry that I have to be soo vague, but internet's kinda expensive here and I have to be brief. Sufficient to say I am well, getting though, and learning a lot. My only problem is missing everyone back home. I miss you all so so so much, but lets just call two years a short period. Itll be good that way. Anyways, I'm dirty, hot and need to get home before the sun falls. Love you all.

Oh yeah, I have a zambian phone. The number is: 011260979121697. Please call me, I'll go more into detail and I'd love to talk to each and everyone of you!

With love and all that good stuff,
Ryan, Bucket, or that guy who went to Africa.
