I've been in Peace Corps nearly four months now and if I don't start blogging regularly I never will. But where to start?!
I am a Peace Corps volunteer in a small town in Senegal, West Africa called Ross Bethio. The town has 10000 people, mostly rice farmers as well as miscellaneous businessmen. We are just 50km east of St. Louis, a big city on the Atlantic Ocean, and just about 20km south of the Senegal River and Mauritanian Border. If you want to Google Earth me, I am at about 16 degrees latitude, 16 degrees longitude. I am in the Small Enterprise Development Program, and my job is to teach business skills to organizations and entrepreneurs hoping to start, expand or better manage their businesses.

Best of luck to you and keep blogging! I was a SED volunteer in Dagana a few years ago and am always interested to hear how PCVs are doing now.
You are beginning a really awesome 27 month adventure. It will really fly by!
