East of the Sun Trip Part 5 : in which I conclude that the world is in fact magical and get new bruises on my butt. Our fourth sunrise in Lobéké. We rise, significantly less shinily than the sun, and start for the savanna. Valentin calls after us: “Today, you will see a gorilla! 8221; I grump back. . Thursday, July 30, 2015. East of the Sun Trip Part 4. And its head here.

Life Uncaged: October 2014
http://beckyslifeuncaged.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
My BBFs (Best Book Friends). Tuesday, October 21, 2014. I feel I should apologize for my tardy blog posts. Sorry, friends and strangers, readers and skimmers! But I also wonder - does the lateness, the rarity of this blog post make it more valuable? Will it be more popular or less popular? Either way, dear followers, this should be a fun post because it is a post in which I take a trip to Kumbo! We do not get up early the next morning. But when we do get up, we feast on pancakes and locally grown cof...

Life Uncaged: June 2015
http://beckyslifeuncaged.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
My BBFs (Best Book Friends). Tuesday, June 30, 2015. Summertime Funness : Camp Fortes 2015. It was just March, and now May’s gone, and June has almost run its course as well. I keep thinking, time to update my blog! In fewer than two months I will no longer be in Cameroon, no longer be in Peace Corps. That’s good, and that’s bad. Happy and sad. Salt and pepper. Bitter and sweet. One last big accomplishment: Camp Fortes 2015 was a great success! Thursday, June 11, 2015. Tuesday is art day. Danielle an...

Of course you dont. But thats why Im here - to tell you what its like and regale you with tales of the absurdity that is my life on the daily. . When I was con...

My BBFs (Best Book Friends). Thursday, February 26, 2015. Like a Busy Bee. It's that time of year again - where work comes and sits on your vocal cords and crushes your dreams. (Oh wait, that's nodes. #pitchperfect). Here's a rundown of what I've been working on lately. 1 Club FORTES :. An extracurricular program targeting female high school students (though there are now 3 regularly attending you men as well! 2 Youth For Change :. 3 March 8th, International Women's Day :. 4 Camp FORTES :. 5 Art Class :.

My BBFs (Best Book Friends). Tuesday, December 23, 2014. Or, Why Our Stereotypes Are Dumb and We Should Open Our Minds. It seems like everyone wants to write the blog Ten Things Youd Never Do In the U.S. And theres nothing wrong with that post, with admiring what is exotic. Its impossible not to notice what is so different from what were used to! Which are simply not true. . Turns to the red mud of rainy season. The red dust of dry season. Tuesday, December 16, 2014.

Life Uncaged: Putting away the maps in Ohrid, Macedonia
http://beckyslifeuncaged.blogspot.com/2015/09/putting-away-maps-in-ohrid-macedonia.html
My BBFs (Best Book Friends). Wednesday, September 16, 2015. Putting away the maps in Ohrid, Macedonia. And while you're at it, leave the guide books and the maps and the seven must see lists at home. Sometimes you need to just wander, or you'll only ever find the places that everyone else has found. What do we search for when we travel? Do we look for others who are like us or different? Do we look for some magic escape or for a chance to be someone else that we don't find in our own homes? Disclaimer: T...

Life Uncaged: September 2015
http://beckyslifeuncaged.blogspot.com/2015_09_01_archive.html
My BBFs (Best Book Friends). Saturday, September 19, 2015. Bulls and old stuff at Butrint, Albania. Immediately upon entry, I see: two Roman columns to the left, a Venetian tower in front, and a Venetian triangular fort and an Ottoman palace to the right. This mish mash of ages, origins, and styles is indicative of the site - and of this whole egion, where empires and invaders have risen and fallen like the tides of the Ionian sea on its beaches. What is the purpose? Wednesday, September 16, 2015. And wh...
