Fungus

I just wanted to give everyone a little heads up to not worry, I DO NOT have a toenail fungus. Wow, i don't think i have ever gotten so much response from a blog entry!! The reason they are falling off is that I did a hike to Mosteiros in shoes that were too big and my feet kept jamming against the shoe and the trauma has caused them to die. Bummer cause my feet are looking pretty ugly right now!! Hopefully they grow back by October or i will be wearing closed toed shoes in BZ's wedding!!!!!!!!!

I'm a loser

Sorry sorry sorry, i know it has REALLY been a long time since the last one but what can i say? I don't have a lot of time now but i will give you all a run down of what has been going on:

- We are organizing the 2nd annual Women's Day for the women on our island. There should be about 2oo or more people at this event.

- I have been helping out in the winery when the need me to do something and i am getting really good at filling bottles and gluing on labels...i have a whole photo montage to show when i get the pics uploaded (who knows when that will be but stay tuned)

- We just had a big shin-dig for my birthday up in Cha; there were about 20 people there, 5 of them being my peace corps buddies from the island. We killed a pig that i would estimate weighed about 100 lbs, drank 30 liters of wine and then slept outside under the stars. it really was a birthday to remember!

- I have some strange ailments at the moment, like both of my big toenails are falling off and my lip has become chapped and split open from the dry wind that has arrived in Cha. they tell me now that i am really belong in Cha because apparently this happens in the winter to lots of people(the lip thing not the toenail).

So that is just a little sampling of what is happening here. Time is really flying now.
