Thursday, April 30, 2009. Last week This week. Finished writing my last entry in the journal I brought to country (Thanks Chass; GREAT gift! It'll be posted as a daily update a week later, so 23rd on the 30th, you get the picture. Here we go. Thursday, April 23, 2009 –. Did laundry and hung it up to dry and then made lunch, a heart-attack sandwich of melted Velvita Cheese from mom’s last care package (which was great by the way- Thanks! Bacon was what I chose from the Ely/Gaya package). Amazing. Started ...

Adventures in Travel, Development and Law: Tales of the Alhambra, Madrid and Skipped Flights
http://niameynights.blogspot.com/2009/10/tales-of-alhambra-madrid-and-skipped.html
Monday, October 26, 2009. Tales of the Alhambra, Madrid and Skipped Flights. So coming into Granada, when will and I learned that there was absolutely NO available hostals in town, we thought 'oh, hey, we can camp.' Then we checked the weather. And we were assured by weatherunderground.com that no rain was coming. So we went for the camping option. We ended up staying in Granada. For four or five days. Granada is a nice place. I think it might be the capital of the bohemian. That guy had. Traveling a...

Adventures in Travel, Development and Law: August 2010
http://niameynights.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 7, 2010. What a crazy, great thirty hours my trip to Jacmel was. Hands on typically has a half day every other Saturday so volunteers can rest up and potentially travel to see other parts of Haiti. Last Saturday myself and a group of seven other volunteers set out for a seat of the pants trip to Jacmel. About 3:30 pm we left the Hands On base and walked to the tap-tap station and after a quick search of "Jacmel? So as it was all working fine, something. Nobody stopped for about half an h...

http://peacecorpspalagi.blogspot.com/2008/11/guest-posts-public-transportation-and.html
Where is Moldova, anyway? Musings on my Peace Corps experience in this small, Eastern European, Republic. Guest Posts - Public Transportation and the Winery. MARIA AND THE WINERY AT MILESTII MICI. We were going to meet Sharon’s first host Mom at the winery and I was a little anxious. Maria knew Sharon for more than 2 years and now she was going to meet some of Sharon’s American relatives. What were Maria’s opinions of us going to be? This entry was posted on Monday, November 10, 2008 at 11:49 AM. I'm cur...

Adventures in Travel, Development and Law: July 2010
http://niameynights.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 29, 2010. Disaster Risk Reduction and Sandy Beaches. All work and no play makes international relief volunteers dull boys and girls, so Hands On gives their volunteers every Sunday off to recover from the week and enjoy some of what Haiti has to offer. For most people this means beaches! Of course there are the waterfalls and cute coastal towns as well, but I’ll have to get to those a little later. We introduced ourselves and HODR, though most of them new of us from the construction of the...

Adventures in Travel, Development and Law: September 2009
http://niameynights.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 24, 2009. Tunisia almost at an end. When we last saw our intrepid trio of tenacious travelers, they were heading south into the hills and valleys of the Tunisian mountains after a week of lounging on the beaches along the Northern coast. Let's check back in with them. Since the last post they've made a loop of the Tunisian interior. Sousse. What can I say about Sousse? So for the next couple of days, we'll be killing time in Tunis. We visited the Bardo yesterday. The Bardo is ...Not m...

Adventures in Travel, Development and Law: Give Me Shelter
http://niameynights.blogspot.com/2010/08/give-me-shelter.html
Saturday, August 7, 2010. So first up, check out this little video of life as a Hands On volunteer in Haiti:. It gives you a little feel for what the typical day around here is like. Hard to believe I only have a week left in Haiti. My time here has been flying by. I am enjoying the work and people so much I would extend and stay on, but for the fact that I have responsibilities back in the states and can't very well just abandon a great scholarship like the one AU has offered me. View my complete profile.
