The holiday season was easier than expected. I spent
Christmas and New Years with 16 other volunteers. Christmas was spent north of
Bahir Dar. We had tacos, chocolate chip pancakes, and kabobs over three days. There
were decorations sent from states. Each volunteer received a stocking. We did
secret Santa and White Elephant. I got to talk to my parents and Grandma. Things
didn’t seem too bad, being surrounded by other people helped to make it easier.
New Years was spent about 15 minutes north of my town. There were also 17 PCVs.
A fellow PCV has an awesome contact in her town of an Ethiopian who owns a café
on the hill with lots of land. He provided dinner. We projected a movie and had
a huge bonfire. After the movie we played music and danced around the fire. I stayed
up until like 4:30 am. I had a blast.
Sorry this is short and I haven’t written in a
while. I’ve been crazy busy. I hope to have a few more posts up within the next
few weeks, as school break is right around the corner along with exam week.
