Back from Australia

April 30 --
So let's see. Where were we before all the fun began. Oh yes. I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Samoa. Funny how those little things can slip your mind when you are having the time of your life. Anyway, back to reality.

Life in the village continues to plod along. My ladies succeeded in getting two of their three delegated tasks done while I was gone so the health center/women's center project is progressing, albeit slowly. I have been spending a lot of time creating a powerpoint presentation on Basic Computer Usage (it begins with how to use a mouse!) that can be placed on the computer's desktop and used by interested parties without benefit of an instructor. Since the Computer Center here is essentially a lost cause I figured that was about all I could do for them.

I have to go in to Apia on Wednesday to see the doctor again about my asthma. Funny thing. A few days after I got to Australia my symptoms cleared up. Three days after I got back here I was back on drugs again. We'll see what he says but I'm thinking it may be time to head home.

I'll keep you posted.
