Courtney's Cape Verde Experience...and then some

This blog is a way for friends and family all over the world to be able to share the journey I started and recently completed as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Cape Verde, Africa. It exists so the people I care about may know what I did, how I felt, how I changed. It is also an opportunity to give me feedback and let me know how you are doing. Enjoy this brief window into Cape Verde! The opinions expressed belong solely to the writer and do not represent the US Peace Corps and its philosophy.
