So Typical:  So think of what an average Peace Corps volunteer loves to do in their free time............If you thought hacky sack you would be absolutely correct.  So I average about three hacky sack sessions a day, at both breaks in training and after lunch.  However, we don't only play we come up with names for different 'moves' as well.  For example:

Hacky Chan:  When you attempt a high kick so keep the hacky sack in the air.

Michael HACKson:  When no other gringos want to play so you end up playing with younge Colombian students.

Hack Cousteau:  When you kick the hacky sack in one of the many puddles after it rains and you have to go get it.

Hack to the Future:  When you are able to kick the hacky sack 88 times without it touching the ground (We haven't done this one yet).

-The list could go one for ever, so these were just a few of the good ones.  If you have any ideas I would love to hear them! 

-Hanukkah starts tomorrow so eat some potato latkes for me!
