Khotso bakhotsi!!! (which means "I greet you in peace my friends" in sesotho)
I am still in the capital of Maseru, and so far Lesotho, Africa is great. I get to move in with my host family on Sunday night, where I will be staying for about 4 weeks, observing classrooms and integrating into the culture and language (some of which I have already done). I will be emailing some of you my address, but I don't feel comfortable posting it here. I am learning the language fairly well so far, and I have a great instructor (actually set of instructors). There are a few things I'm not so keen on in terms of cultural expectations and Peace Corps policies, but it is my job, so I'm gonna have to live with that for a couple of years. No biggie, since I like the people so far, and I have found several venues here for my rest and relaxation, and I have a lot of good friends here already. I have no fears or worries at the moment, and I feel that this was definitely the right choice for me. I love you all, and I'll check in periodically (probably once every couple of weeks).
Salo Hantle!!!
