All the kids (even the ones in the Peace Corps) seem to be on the Interweb these days, so I figured it was time to jump on the bandwagon. Especially since I'm all finished up with my jobs - no more office, library, or standardized-testing duties to get in the way of goofing off - that is, preparing for departure. I'm only about 15 minutes into it, but so far the 21st century is beating microfilm hands down. Next up: errands.
Staging Event (ie, shots and How Not to Get Assaulted on the Plane): June 11.
Leaving the Country: June 13
Arriving in Country: June 14
Holy crap - I'd better buy some more underwear.

Welcome
My name is Blair. I'm a returned Peace Corps Volunteer living and teaching in The Gambia. Sometimes, I also have thoughts or pictures to share with others.

less talk more pictures
I still want a pony
If you have one you need to farm out, send it to:
Blair Cochran, c/o Banjul American Embassy School, PO Box 2596, Serrekunda, The Gambia.

Hot Tips for Mailing
- Padded envelopes will be charged less than boxes.
- What you send should be able to survive on its own for a month or so before delivery...
- ...and may be subject to the ravages of heat, small animals, and theft.
- Do not let this discourage you - I am ridiculously grateful for raisins, old New Yorkers, and other minor treats (see below).
- Also, I will write back!
Wish List
- tortellini
- pictures - I like to see what you're up to
- Sharpies
- pretty much anything from the skincare aisle - face wash, nice sunblock...in addition to making the world a better place, I hope to do some serious product testing while I'm here. Leave a comment if you want specific suggestions - I have plenty :)
- mix cds
- (freeze) dried fruit or veggies
- Clif bars
