My new home

I moved into my new house in Thyolo on Friday. It's fantastic: a small guest house/cottage in the same compound as the District Commissioner who is like a mayor or a city manager (I can't remember which). It has a common room, a room with a toilet and a room with a bathtub and a sink. I even have a porch with flower boxes. I have electricity and running water at least once a day. Thyolo is in the tea estates area so I can see them from my house. In the mornings I can't see anything outside of my yard though due to all the fog.
I started my job yesterday but there wasn't much to do. The District doesn't have any money right now so there really aren't any activities going on. So I sat in the office chatting with a university student who is doing an internship with the District AIDS office. The District AIDS Commissioner is in today so I can find out what the volunteer I replaced did and what work I can do. I will post pictures when I have more time and figure out how to do it.
