Week 23: Living in Luxury


 
After three months at site with limited contact with other Americans I know find myself surrounded by my whole intake group (Bots 14). It has been three months of rural village life where internet is only available in the neighboring village. Emails can take up to a half hour to send at the public library by me but this week I am at a hotel with strong enough bandwidth that I can stream Macklemore on youtube (that is if I am willing to have frequent interruptions in the streaming, waiting for it to load). This is because I am in the capital for training. Peace Corps has a variety of trainings through out in country service and my intake group is currently going through IST or In Service Training. This means two weeks of decadence. The hotel room I am sharing with my dear friend is bigger then both of our peace corps houses, we have air conditioning, a pool, and get fed numerous times a day never having to do the dishes. I love my village and I did not move to Botswana to live in luxury, but I am not going to lie, taking a daily hot shower has been nothing short of blissful.
