My new home

As I said, my home is in the mountains in Northern Tanzania. Being up in the mountains the views and temperature are amazing, which I expected. I also don't have electricity or running water, but besides that, the site is very different than I would have believed.

The house is brand new; it would have been my headmaster's, but he gave it up to have an American teacher. Since it was built for a family, there are three bedrooms, a sitting room, and a kitchen. The garden is still a possibility, but the water source is very far and the soil is basically clay.

The school also does not need me to help with chemical and book buying because they do not yet have a lab or library. They're working on building more classrooms first, which is certainly a good idea as they don't have enough.

The final surprise is that I'm actually living with another Peace Corps volunteer! Her house isn't done yet so she is staying with me until it is. Neither of us gets marriage offers becuase people already think we are married, so that is nice.

Another update soon.
