Pictures!

Back to Niamey for In-Service training. Thanksgiving went well. We had to kill our own turkey, but I would expect nothing less here :) Enjoy the pics!













My crazy village kids. The little girl in the middle has dinner with me every night.

A PCV known as "Cewbaca" (yes, that's right) in Niger had a wedding ceremony in his village which is near mine... his gf from the states came up for it. This is me and steph and some other PCV's at the wedding.

Um... how do I explain this one? After my month live-in (which I got through without getting sick thank you very much), Team Z threw all of us newbies an 80's party. The tackiness ensued! So much fun!

Me and Steph at one of our language instructor's wedding in the Zinder region. Like my outfit? You know you do.

This little boy kept coming up to me at the wedding. He was so cute! But it's funny, he was wearing more American looking clothes than me!




Another PCV's girls' soccer team. Go team and coach Danel! Me and Kellie went to watch the girls' soccer tournament which is held every year. Playing soccer seems to really give the girls a lot of empowerment.

A visit to G-side and Jen's Village which is an Oasis tucked away in Zinder. They have palm trees! Here we are wading through the "Hanya Ruwa."

Thanksgiving feasting and cooking! We had SO MUCH food, I think I gained about 20 pounds that day. Oh and I got suckered into helping someone (ahem, Danel and Noah) make empanadas...it took forever!!

Me and Steph on the 17 hour bus ride to IST. We go a little crazy after so many hours, but can you blame us?
