I'm here!

Well, I'm in Africa!  Right now sitting on the 3rd floor of the PC office in Cotonou.  Had to get typhoon shots, my bike, and take a language exam.  Next I'm off to go wander around the surrounding neighborhood to buy fresh pineapple off of a woman's head.  But it's amazing here!  I can tell that it's going to be an amazing experience here!  We are currently staying at a hostel surrounded by palm tree's and enjoying showers and toilettes...not heated showers, but doesn't matter when it's 85 at night.  Then in a few days I'm off to Porto Novo to go visit and start living with my host family.  I've got to make this short because everyone is waiting to use the computers here.  But I'll update this again once I have access.  Au revoir!
