Alive and well…despite my drivers best efforts.

Howdy everybody, I have finally made it out to Adak and have been given a kings welcome by Jordan and all of the locals out here. If you are trying to understand what its like here, picture Ridgewood...then remove the paved roads, electricity, running water, traffic laws, and any sense of urgency. Then add a sprinkle of blistering heat, cooked goat on a stick that always ends in nausea, and several metric tons of children FASCINATED by white people. Thats just about Adak in a nutshell. And what better way to start my time off then learning the ins and outs of killing chickens...the logical first step to veterinary school. I LOVE AFRICA! And finally, I must apologize for my terrible punctuation. The keyboards here have a whole slew of symbols on them but none of the correct ones come up when I hit their corresponding buttons. Its been a little game of battleship just to get this post out. Im sorry to say the computer beat me more times than Id care to admit, so we can forget about apostrophes and parentheses for a while!
