Last Post

First of all, I'd like to congratulate Guy Ritchie.  To quote Ron White, "I married into a rich family.  If you ever have the chance, go ahead."

Second, this is my last blog post as a Peace Corps Volunteer.  I finished up my service and have been back in the good ol' Etats-Unis since Saturday evening.  I'm just getting over the jet lag and still haven't figured out I'm actually here yet.  Here's a short list of what I've been doing and observing these last few days:

•    Freezing – Mon dieu, it's cold

•    Lots of pickles – Way too many pickle choices at the grocery store

•    Trying to find bargaining angles – I have to remind myself I can't bargain for tomatoes anymore

•    The power of Google – Whenever a question pops in my head, I used to say, "Hey, I'm gonna [bleeping] Google that [bleep]."  Now, I actually can.

•    How fast YouTube videos load – It's really incredible, like Google

•    Catching up on T-Pain songs – Love the new hat

•    Not worrying about small change – Vendors always have change.  Amazing!

I won't be continuing the blog because the second I stepped on the plane in Yaoundé, I became less interesting.  Sure, I'll be talking a lot about Cameroon, but my day-to-day life in America doesn't make for good blogging, except for me describing how a part of me decays every time I walk into a box store.

I just want to thank everyone who has read the blog and/or has written to me these last two years, whether through the blog, Facebook, email, or snail mail.  It really meant a lot to me to hear from you while being away for such a long time.  If you still have a fix for Peace Corps blogs, check out Phil's or the link on the right side of the page for all the PC blogs you could ever want.

Merci beaucoup!  Sey yeeso.
