Take a Pass on Hotel Ripcrow
Lets just say calling it a Hotel was stretching the truth
|
We are volunteers now! After a beautiful ceremony at
the US Ambassador's residence, we officially became volunteers and then
reality hit us. We were not going to be leaving for our sites
anytime soon, so we had to wait at a hotel the Peace Corps found for us,
the Hotel 'Ripcrow', which we quickly changed to
'Ripcord,' cuz that is what you want to pull as you jump
out of the window.
All of us lived together in the hotel for a month, bonding and irritating each other. We all were glad when the majority of the people left for their sites. Now there are only three of us left here to wait and rot, without phones, mail, and sometimes hot water or heat. I can't wait to have my own room again! |
