Random Details
So 1) emily, I love the questions and comments. They make me happy. hahaha. And congrats on the CNN job!! (I want everyone to know about your amazingness). Kristine - I forgot to tell you that your crossword puzzle book has been like a saving grace in times of boredom and fatigue from speaking bambara!!!! Also, I will try to tell more stories because I feel like I havent really been able to do this place justice. Its hard to give an overview and get details, but I shall strike a balance. So I never mentioned the stars. I thought that we could see the stars really well back at home, but I have never ever seen a sky like the ones here. The constellations are the same b/c I'm still in the Northern hemisphere, but lower down, like the big dipper is close to the horizon. And the stars are just amazing, there are so so many. And the rain storms are my favorite, they are CRAZY, the lightening and the sheets of rain are just unbelievable. And the storms roll in pretty fast so there is literally a line in the sky of black and blue. I have some pics so when I go to my site permanently I can finally upload them. Ok, that is all for now. I probably won't be posting for a while b/c we are in homestay for 20 days, but then we have swear in on september 12th, which is supposed to be sooooo fun, its at the embassy and ambassador's house. So I am looking forward to that! Miss everyone!!

YAYYYY I'm in your post!! That makes me super happy. And thanks for the CNN shout out haha, I started training this week, its going to be awesome. I'll be in on and off doing training for the next 2-3 weeks and should be starting in a month fulltime. Fingers crossed!! If you ever wanna see what I've been up to there, check it out at www.cnn.com/caffertyfile. :-D
And I liked your random details. I remember having moments like that when abroad where I just wanted to list random thoughts about what I had been up to and observing. The storms must be incredible.
I wish you were here during the election times and such, I keep on watching the DNC and wishing you were in the states so we could gov chat it up after everyone's speeches. Are you following the election at all over there?
Ok now for an IMPORTANT question...what is your mailing address (if you have one yet) because I'd love to mail you something at some point over the next 2 years lol.
Hey, did you get to see the Olympics? The US women's basketball team beat the Mali Basketball team. The Olympics were pretty amazing as usual. Karate Camp was great. The presidential race features two candidates that have either dumbed down their ideas for America, or have been exposed as dumb, making it rather close.
By the way, Batman was awesome!
