April 8th
Day was spent doing some shopping – I picked up some blank tapes to record onto for our truck, some bolts to repair our vehicle and a basketball hoop for at the camp. I also stopped in at this bakery where they make the world’s best rolls and I tried to have a nice quiet cup of tea. Unfortunately, I was harrased for about 10 minutes by this drunk guy trying to get money from me. I think he was cursing me by the end of it and the store owner had to scare him off. From there, I walked (a few kilometers distance) out to the Peace Corps house. It is the local office/resting point for the American Peace Corps that are working in the province. There’s always some people around there, so we had a big meal, some Mosi beer (there’s only two choices of beer, the other one is Castle beer) and listened to music. Then I crashed at their place as they have a huge house that can sleep about 15 people.
