Address for cards or letters for Julie
Julie Bordua, PCV
Peace Corps
P.O. Box 5796
Accra North, Ghana
West Africa
It seems that Julie has not received some letters and cards sent to her so she thought this old address may be better. They go to the peace corp office in Accra. She absolutely loves letters and pictures. We have to make a real effort to keep them up. She sounds great when I talk to her. I have a trip planned for January 7th. Sheryl Lessard is going with me which will be wonderful. Should be interresting and certainly adventerous.

The hunt for the perfect Christmas Tree
So we decided to switch it up this year and me, Claire, Mere and Dan went to cut down our own Christmas trees today. Here are the lessons learned:
- Go early, otherwise you have to wait forever to drive up a one way muddy road (1 car up for every 2 down!)
- Bring work gloves, because the trees and prickly, and they hurt - dish gloves work well too!
- Two trees won't fit on one car - there was some discussions on this and we ended up taking one car and Dan had to run back after lunch to pick up the 2nd tree
- Make sure to get all of the ice off of the tree BEFORE they net it, because mud and white carpets don't mix well
- The trees will look MUCH bigger in your living room than the did on the field! We knew we were in trouble when we brought the tree in to my apartment and cut the net. It was HUGE!!!!!
Here is what it looks like after Dan chopped a bunch of branches off of the bottom.
Here is Mere and Dan's - it's from Mere's blackberry so it isnt' too clear but you get the idea!
So if you haven't purchased your tree yet, just remember it's going to look way bigger in your house than it did outside. Merry Christmas!
