Does anyone remember that song? It takes me back to a time when I wore a green apron and plastic gloves at Schlotzsky's deli...and that delivery car I drove with the giant light-up phone on top. (Ok, so I just had to YouTube Dune Buggy and Peaches--worth it. Take 5 minutes--it's like a time machine.)
Christmas in Niger was good, as far as a Christmas in Niger goes. It's not like you can really replicate Christmas at home, so I think it's best just to celebrate in completely different ways. Like, for example, on Christmas eve, you could try grilled meat, a keg, and dancing; and on Christmas day, jet skis, driving cars on sand dunes, and a hippie picnic as the sun goes down.
Our office has had off all week, which allowed for some wonderful Grand Marche shopping (hello fabric and sunglasses); several trips to, and a fight with, my tailor; a Twilight movie-fest (all 4, one night); and a head cold. I may try to go see a doctor today, mostly because I'm bored, and I think it will be a strange experience (it's sure to be no trip to the Peace Corps doctor Laurent).
Happy New Year! Sannun ku da sabon shekara! And happy anniversary to Judy and Bob!
