Two mistakes to correct:  1.  Host pa’s truck is a Ford. And today he had a Toyota passenger car parked in the yard too.... hmm..... 2.  In last post the last line, I meant to said that “There wasn’t time for me to load photos to edit..... and it won’t be for another while yet, I would think.

At the end of each post, this note had forgotten too:  My blog has been posted only for my own story telling, not presenting Peace Corps, neither any other volunteers.

  There are quite a few of Aloe plants..... The sand here are larger, about half or 1/3 of a piece of uncooked rice and rough.... when got into shoes, it can cut the skin through the shocks.... of course, I have learned it fast, when I wear the flip flap to empty bath water in the dark..... my feet had few holes from just walked short distance...... Pretty much as the scene somewhere of Loreto, BCS.... (missed you all...).... Yet still so different..... Up higher into the hills, there is this LoskopDam, where the resort we had stayed a week, and now almost every day we came to their conference room for our lessons. On Friday, September 1 st , there were so many boats been towed into the resort..... usually empty and vast landscape in between buildings now full with people young and old.... It was a long weekend here. Was it for their Veteran’s Day too, the same as in USA??? In the late afternoon light when return from classes, the view seemed so different... still as beautiful.. ...

 August 26, 2023  For the thought of the unknown host home in village to be coming up in reality and also for the serious lightning and thunder storm blew through half of the night, I had not slept well at all....  Maggie had to knock on my door to tell me it was 6:30am....7am breakfast, 8am to depart..... Didn’t I set my alarm at 5am???..... When we walked into the church, everyone stood up to sing and dance to welcome us....   How moving this had stricken to every one of us.... Many of us were with tears..... The announcement made at the end of the formalities, on which family was to have which one of us PCV-Ts to go home with them..... The greatest excitment so far..... This is my host mom, Rosi, ten years younger from me..... She speaks enough English to make me at home from the very moment she had first embraced me at the front of all PCV-Ts, LCFs and locals....... This is my family for the coming 12 weeks.  Host mom, Rosi, with one grandson age 10 a...

The LoskopDam Forever Resort was truly beautiful any time of the day. Before 7am to walk to restaurant at the other end of resort, sun was still lower than tree top and roof top. Walking till nearer to the conference hall where our classes were, the sun was up almost at top of trees and roofs. After done with breakfast, the air was just starting to get warmer..... By the noon time it was hot enough to run for the shades..... After classes ended, the sun was at the our front again, on our way walking back to cabin #18..... And it gets dark in the hurry..... so I do not go for dinner at 6pm, I had been packed my dinner at buffet lunch time and bring back with me after the classes ended. Another day, another way and another view, for I had been the expert of getting lost in the whole of my life time.....  Many had asked me, how I had traveled around the world time and after..... with grace of everyone, everywhere, I guess..... This was...
