Have a super busy week following a crazy weekend. On Saturday, one of the other volunteers and her Baba killed a chicken. I videoed. It was ridiculous. They used a knife that was not very sharp and it took over a minute to saw off the head. So wild.
On Sunday, I attended the christening of my host parents 2 grandsons from America. It was really neat to witness this Orthodox ceremony. Afterwards, there was a huge party in our yard and lots of soccer playing with the kids. This is a big week for me and the other volunteers. We have our community meeting where we meet with the mayor and other community members to come up with a project for the town. Then we have our site placement interviews with Peace Corps staff. Very nervous! I still have no idea the sort of place where I'd like to go for my permanent site.

  2. FYI: The community meeting was a huge success!!! We had 23 people attend and made brownies (which didn't taste so good due to the too large banitsa pan and oven without thermometer).
