Peace Corps

I love this place. I have only gone twice, but each time was so rich in experience and memories. Saudades. If you can, go. If you can’t, enjoy the words and photos.

A long-winded story about running and friends. It reflects well the era when I wrote it. The first half is much more worth reading than the second, though I often think about Jacinto.

A short story about successfully making chocolate in rural Timor-Leste and unsuccessfully convincing my host family to do it too.

A short photo story of the weekly market day in Ermera Vila. A great glimpse into the everyday life of somewhere very different than most readers’ experiences.

Mostly photos from my three months of Peace Corps training in Gleno in Timor-Leste. So many memories in this blog, so many more not.
