(Ghost-poster's note: Joseph sends me his posts by cell phone, and I put them up. I have been also out of cell phone contact for about a month, so now I'm posting several of Joseph's entries all at once. Enjoy!)
A couple of weeks ago an ex-Peace Corps guy here offered to a few of us the following wisdom:
"PNG. If you can make it here, you can make it here." Genius.
Lately a number of things have conspired to make me pretty miserable, so I'm trying to focus on the positive. One great thing that happened is: I have a puppy!! Which the villagers named Rover, oddly enough. Before I left the village for a break he was yelping, being overrun by lice. I washed all the lice off and snuggled him by the fire. And the basically the whole village became obsessed with him, fed him tons, and now he's twice the size of his brother.
He's adorable, follows me around everywhere. Unfortunately, though even if I delouse him first, every time I play with him I get dog lice for 2-3 days. Ugh.
