In Cape Verde!

Hi everyone!  I've been in Cape Verde, or how they say it here Cabo Verde, for a week now and its been wonderful!  People here are very kind and extremely generous.  I couldn't have asked for a better host family, they are patient with me when I don't understand something (which is the majority of the time) and help me with everything.  I am learning Kriolu and hope to know more than just simple phrases soon!  The town I'm living in is a fairly small community but very beautiful.  Everyone says in a couple weeks everything will be turning green, because the rainy season has started.  Life here is simple, and people don't waste what they have.  I'm learning to take a bucket bath with as little water as possible!  Loving my experience so far but miss all of you back home.  I will try to post about once or twice a week.  Txau!
