Table for one??
We got our site placements yesterday!!! I am going to the island of Fogo which I am so excited about...however, I will be in one of the bigger towns there and I will be living by myself. I had wanted a more rural site but of course I am going to take this and run with it! There are 4 other volunteers from my group going to the island as well, 2 boys and 2 other girls. The 2 boys will be on the other side of the island from me and the two girls should be just around the island a little, but transportation is a bit sparadic so we´ll see how often I get to see everyone!!! I´m a little nervous about the being on my own thing and I´ll have to learn how to cook for just one!! Ok, that´s all I have for now...I´ll let you know my mental state before I leave for site in two weeks!!

Lauren,
I think this is awesome! This is the first I have heard about you in Africa, and I am really jealous! I wish you luck with everything and will be reading your blogs as you post them. I am hoping that I can be doing something similar in the near future! Have fun!
Lauren,
Congratulations on your placement on Fogo. The town looks so pretty & quaint! I think they gave you a site by yourself because they determined how confident, capable and independent you are. We are all so proud of you. Keep the blogs & pictures coming!
Love,
Janet
La,
I have spent the day finding out everything the internet has on Fogo!
It sounds wonderful and with a 3 bedroom house to yourself I think you can have lots of company from the USA!! Sue Hoffman said our Bunco group could even come! We could teach CV/Fogo the difficult game of Bunco!!
Love,
MOM
You go girl!

I am so proud of you La! Everything sounds amazing! Your pictures are beautiful and I can't wait to hear more stories about Fogo. I think you will be a-ok on your own! I am singing Beyonce right now for you..."All the woman, independent!!"
