Step 18: Sahara or Bust!
... Chantel, Chelsea, Dallin, Tim, Terry, Issac and myself. After conversations and great company, 10:00 rolled around and no bus. I asked the cute receptionist if we missed the bus and he said yes with a smirk on his face. After him hassling me he said that the bus would arrive in ten minutes. Twenty minutes go by and he said the bus would be there soon. Departing at 10:42 p.m., our cranky group boarded the bus and just my luck, I got kicked out of my ...
Evacuation
... that ***** needed to be evacuated. Although I always felt safe in my village, this was the 5th kidnapping of westerns in 2 years. Worse yet, this time the kidnapping was in a public bar that is often frequented by Peace Corps volunteers when we are in Niamey. These last two weeks of uncertainty and premature endings have been some of the most difficult and stressful weeks of my life. Most of my fellow volunteers have left for home or ...
A Night in the Desert

We showed up at the near empty bus station and asked someone, "Rissani". They dashed out into the parking lot and stopped a bus that was about to pull away shouting "autre personne! autre personne!". We followed along, bewildered. It was 450am and our bus wasn't meant to depart until 530am. The young Moroccan man in a white turban and black leather jacket ...
Toilet trips, bizarre dinners and something else
... apple, and so I expected it to look like a cigarette but, when we got there, he got this stuff out of this packet, mushed it all up, then put it on the top of this contraption with water at the bottom and a long pipe attached to it and put this burning hot disk at the top. He was then able to breath in apple fumes through this pipe. Very strange - or maybe I'm just being naive and this is a common way of smoking 'apple'?! The next morning I didn't feel too great as my ...
