I'm still in Praia waiting to get back to Maio. This past week was our COS conference (Close of Service) and it kind of makes leaving a little bit more real. It still hasn't really hit me that I'm going home in about 3 weeks and I'll no longer be a Peace Corps volunteer. The next few weeks are going to be pretty emotional saying goodbye to everyone who has been part of my life and trying to prepare myself to move on to the next stage in my life.

They did a test run on the airport in Maio Wednesday but it failed to pass inspection which means we have another week of tinkering and then another test run. Hopefully I will be able to fly back to Praia for my COS and not take the boat.

Speaking of boats, here are some pictures from the Musteiru that sank:
