Goin on a bike ride

Well here is another picture valerie. I truly loved your poem. You should quit your job and start writing poems about me. I think you could make a good living. If you can´t tell in any of these pictures I have lost some weight i think around 20 pounds. But it was a much needed 20 pounds to lose. I weighed in at 210 when i came here. I feel a lot healthier too. Peace corp is a great weight loss program due to all the lovely ways you can get sick. Which i must say i don´t get sick that often especially now that i cook for myself. The parasites haven´t popped out to have a look yet so i think i killed them with that puro alchohol. Lord knows it did a hurtin on me. So to tell you what i have been doin down here so ya´ll think i am tryin to do some good. Right now I am trying to work with a woman named Cira and start a recycling project for the city so some less then fortunate women can make a little bit of dough. I hope to start visiting some of the schools to start Eco-clubs. But i have been told that almost all eco-clubs fail. But i am going to try anyway. Also in two weeks i will start teaching some english classes for about 6 kids. As for my real job in the morning, with the desk and all, I don´t do that much and I am not very happy about it all. I have been mandated professional phoographer. I recieved this because I have a digital camera. It makes me wonder what i would be doing there if i hadn´t of brought my camera. But next mon. I am going to talk to my boss about this and tell him that this is not the reason I joined Peace corp. But besides that I have made some pretty good friends. One guy is Johnny and he is real cool. I work with him to plant grass, we are about to build a soccer field. But that is pretty much my work for right now.
So the reason this is titled goin on a bike ride is because erin, another volunteer 10 km away, and I are going to ride 90km tomorrow. It should take around 8-9 hours depending on if my bike breaks down. I just bought this bike last week and within two days the damn pedal fell off, my tires are completely out of wack and the tools to tighten my spokes don´t exist. Oh yeah the name of my bike, ¨THE HURRICANE¨, that is what is written on the side of it. So erin and i are going to leave tommorow morning about 8 and hopefully arrive around 5. I really can´t wait, it is pretty flat most of the way there, so it shouldn´t be too long but i am bringing extra money in case we have to get a taxi. So that is a little of what is happening. I hope everyone is doing wonderful. Bob how are you doin brother, send me your e-mail address so i can write you some. You seem to have tons of schoolin goin on right now. But i miss you all and love most of you, just kidding i love you all. ciao- sledge
