A New Adventure: June 13
http://follow-katie-c.blogspot.com/2010/03/june-13.html
Tuesday, March 30, 2010. That's the day I'm coming back home for a vacation! Am getting so, so excited. As of now, my plans are to hit up Asheville, Charlotte, Burlington, and I can be talked into other destinations. Now, I am gearing up for Easter, which is supposed to be crazy in Ghana. Also, my birthday is coming up, which we're using as an excuse to get together and eat bacon! This is going to be an interesting birthday, I think. March 30, 2010 at 4:36 PM. April 1, 2010 at 4:52 PM. Cant wait til June!

A New Adventure: Playtime!
http://follow-katie-c.blogspot.com/2011/05/playtime.html
Saturday, May 14, 2011. These three welders came to my village from Hohoe to design and build the playground. It only took them a couple of days, which was really impressive. Swing set, before. The top part of the Merry-go-round was sitting in one of the classrooms, collecting dust, and there was this random pole sticking out of the ground. It makes much more sense this way! All the kids knew something was happening, and they were so excited! I'm sure that's something like what they were saying.). Магист...

A New Adventure: Everyday Transportation
http://follow-katie-c.blogspot.com/2010/02/everyday-transportation.html
Monday, February 15, 2010. Have you guys ever heard of Grasscutter? It's a type of delicacy here in Ghana, and it looks like a foot long rat. Apparently it's very expensive. and delicious? I'm honestly not sure if I've experienced said dish, because I tend not to ask too many questions about the meat I consume. Ignorance is bliss right? There's no telling what kinds of food my home-stay mom served me those first few months. I shudder at the thought. I can't help worrying on tros though. PS Happy Late Val...

A New Adventure: Back at Site
http://follow-katie-c.blogspot.com/2010/07/back-at-site.html
Saturday, July 17, 2010. Wow, what a whirlwind. I loved coming home to see everyone, but now it's back to work. And what's the first thing that happens? I get sick, go figure. But only a little. Believe it or not, the weather here is cooler than it was in North Carolina. So, I've been feeling cold and a little under the weather. Some projects I'm working on? We loved having you at home - those 3 weeks went by awfully fast! Take care of yourself. July 18, 2010 at 8:24 PM. July 19, 2010 at 12:18 AM.

Friday, April 30, 2010. So, currently, I'm at Peace Corps All Volunteer (All Vol) Conference in Ho, and it has been an, ah, interesting week. Mostly lectures, but also fun things:.

We are staying in a nice hotel with A/C, TV, and a swimming pool- yeah, being a PCV can be tough sometimes, I have to admit! This week has ...

A New Adventure: Oh, That? It's Just a Little Malaria
http://follow-katie-c.blogspot.com/2010/08/oh-that-its-just-little-malaria.html
Monday, August 2, 2010. It's Just a Little Malaria. So, on Thursday, I got Malaria. I can safely say that I will never forget my Mefloquin again. Some reasons why this terrible event occurred? Well, it's the rainy season, which means more mosquitoes in my already buggy village. While that's not an excuse, I'm willing to bet that if I forgot my prophylaxis once during the dry season, I would not have gotten sick. Which leads me to my second reason: I forgot to take my Mefloquin! Never again, though. Green...
