One week remains until I depart for Senegal.
I spoke today with the Peace Corps Director of Senegal and was informed that it would be rare for someone in Small Enterprise Development to be anywhere other than a large town. So I'm now holding out for electricity. I was even told that some volunteers have been fortunate enough to live with families who have air conditioning. I feel bad for the agro-development volunteers. They will be in very rural areas. I don't think there's such a thing as anti-lion spray.
At this point, it's safe to say I'm trying to fit half of the Tools & Hardware department at Home Depot into my suitcase. Needless to say, I'm being over zealous. I'm taking a small wrench, screwdriver, duct tape, and glue. On one hand I hope these things will be useful since I'm taking them. On the other, I hope I never come across any reason for needing them. I've been told to only take what I can carry, which, so far, is one large and one small suit case, my carry on backpackers backpack, and my laptop case. I think I need to consolodate. My solution: Space Bags! and an acceptance of that which is going, ain't comin' back!
Do I need bug spray?
