I enjoyed reading your reports, although I found myself wishing to see more photos! I had never even heard of Cape Verde, so that was especially interesting. I hope you enjoyed your Peace Corps experience, I would be interested in hearing more about what you learned through it (I will have to read more on your other web site, I imagine!). I am currently preparing myself to travel for the first time in the "developing" world, and I am concerned about how I will react to extreme poverty and all that comes with it. Any advice you may have would be gratefully received!
