Crazy couple of weeks. About to get disconnected on the internet. But all is well now so here are some pics of the good parts. Also just found out we are a losing the first memeber of our group so we are all a bit bummed. If anyone wants to send anything this way I could desperately use some board shorts or any shorts around the knee length. Oh and olive oil. I will make a better wish list next week. Love to you all!

My class! I dont think most of them had seen a camera before so they were pretty excited. I had them make name tags for their desks out of magazines and markers. Also very siked about that.
This is the wall you see as you walk into my house. My Samoan dad when painting the house wrote "welcome" and then stood back and pondered it for a few minutes. Then I guess he decided he needed me to know who exactly was welcome in my house so he squeezed in the "you." Mom, notice the calendar?
This is the other side of the main room...and my bed. My "closet" is the piles of clothes under the bed on a piece of cardboard.
Ok this is actually a really messy day, but I was in a hurry so it doesnt usually look this bad. But this is my work table where I have a great view of the road and the sunsets. Mom, I dont know if you can see the wind chime hanging between the windows. The back room is through a door to the right of the pic and the front door is to the left.
This is the back part of my house aka the kitchen/bathroom. The sink is great except there are no pipes and the water goes directly on the floor. Notice plant growing through wall next to sink. I am very proud of the shelf next to the sink as I rigged it up with some twine and an extra refidgerator rack. The toilet and shower are to the right.
