a charlatanical memoir: Apartment pictures!
http://maliorbust.blogspot.com/2007/12/apartment-pictures.html
This is Michele and my new apartment in NW DC:. The kitchen isn't a separate room, it actually makes up the back of the living room (I love that). And its a pretty sweet kitchen too. Granite counters, stained concrete floors. We haven't hung anything on the walls yet, but we've got some awesome stuff from Africa to hang up, plus we plan on printing and framing some of our photos from Mali. Our window out onto the world of Giant the supermarket with our dinky yet lovable Christmas tree. Our Map of Mali.

a charlatanical memoir: Snow Day DC
http://maliorbust.blogspot.com/2007/12/snow-day-dc.html
Ok, to start out with, I am a very bad person for not updating more frequently. I deserve your harsh words - especially those of you who might still read this living in Africa - that is, if any of you even bother anymore. Interesting tidbit of the day: false-consensus effect:. This explains why madmen like Bill O'Reilly believe in their 'War on Christmas'. Written by Outlaw Torn. On Wednesday, December 05, 2007. Ahh snowtime in DC.how I love thee. Miss you and talk to you soon! 2:31 AM, January 02, 2008.

Margo: Oh man!
http://mhworth.blogspot.com/2007/11/oh-man.html
Friday, November 16, 2007. Well- Banos was pretty amazing. I posted pictures. The pictures start in Quito when we went out for Andrew's birthday- it was insane. as you will see- but there was good dancing and it was FUN! Then we went out to celebrate that we were done with TESOL (teaching english as a second language). That may have been the most fun I've ever had in my life! I even jumped off a bridge! In the picture I'm with my roommates Rozana and Angie who dressed up as the Doublemint Twins! Finally-...

Margo: Upside, Inside-Out
http://mhworth.blogspot.com/2008/01/holy-macaroni-oh-my-goodness-gracious.html
Wednesday, January 30, 2008. Oh my goodness gracious-. Oh for the love of Pete and his mother! Okay Pablo- even if you did miss class last week to go to a soccer game and so you didn't know we had homework what should you have done? What should you have done? Do you think you should have asked me "Hey Profe- what did I miss last week? Or do you think you should have come to class, goofed around, and given Juan a purple nurple until he punched you- RUBEN DO NOT TOUCH JUAN'S NIPPLE! It's definitely a drag.

Margo: October 2007
http://mhworth.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 26, 2007. Sometimes it takes me a little longer. Plus, the students are SO sweet. It's a sports high school, so the students wear Track Suits as their uniforms and the They call me "Teacher Margaret", "Teacher", or "Profe"- short for "Profesora". Everywhere I go, the students greet me. Even at lunch they greet us: "Buen provecho, profe." (Buen provecho = bon appetite! It's super polite here to say that whenever anyone's eating ever) I LOVE IT! Tuesday, October 16, 2007. So this week I had...

Margo: Thanksgiving Saturday!
http://mhworth.blogspot.com/2007/11/thanksgiving-saturday.html
Sunday, November 25, 2007. Well, it's been a tough week to be honest. It's been really hard to be away from home over Thanksgiving. It was great that Aunt Mary and Uncle Dan called me on Thursday, and I got to talk to Mom, Dad, Les and Grandma. of course, I had to talk to them all after I got off of work! They eventually decided that anyone who was 18 could drink. which meant that a LOT of people who weren't 18 were drinking at the dance, but no one seemed to care! Teachers, parents and students danced t...

Margo: July 2008
http://mhworth.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 12, 2008. Well, when it comes down to it I am freaking out. I haven't updated since April 26th and it is now July 12 (okay. it's 12:38 am, which means that it's just July 11 plus 38 minutes. but that's more of a technicality). A LOT has happened! And birds- not too many insects. and one giant tarantula! It was amazing- you travel 2 hours in a motorized canoe and then another 2 hours in a paddle canoe (the guides do all the canoeing! AND- (the only place you can do this, btw, is on the equa...

Sunday, September 30, 2007. To see the whole photo album, go here: http:/ gwu.facebook.com/album.php? This weekend was unbelievable! In the picture, Seth, Rachel and I forced smiles as we drove over potholes and piles of rocks in the back of a pickuptruck).This isn't the big bad daddy jungle- but it was a rainforest nonetheless. We did a zip-line course through over the canopy. It was absolutely amazing. We finally got back into Mindo and it was amazing! Anyway- it was a great weekend. This morning w...

Margo: December 2007
http://mhworth.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 15, 2007. So- it's been a long time since my last update- it's just that so much has happened here that I've wanted to take the time to adequately express it all. well. that's not going to happen, but I'll give you the overview. First of all- December 6 was a holiday for Las Fiestas de Quito- the day where the whole city gets off work and parties just because they're Quitenos! Here it was hardly cause for concern! And then respond "QUE VIVA! Or sometimes- "QUE CHUPE QUITO! And honestly...
