http://mattacre.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Tales From A Speck In The Atlantic. Tuesday, January 18, 2011. The Shadow of The Sahara. The days have become long and exhausting with the arrival of the Sahara Desert sands. There is a haze that constantly seems to hang over me, with the lack of job, direction, and a good friend of mine leaving the Peace Corps early for personal reasons, it is sometimes hard to find a sense of purpose. Let me try to explain the different roles that we Peace Corps volunteers play in Cabo Verde. Links to this post. Peace ...

Tales From A Speck In The Atlantic. Saturday, June 11, 2011. A Good Hope for Morabeza. Under rocks that have burrows leading to lizard nests, I have found large circular piles of spines from a common plant species on the islet. Further, the spines are occasionally refreshed with green, newly fallen spines from this plant. Samir presenting his data at the Third Annual TAOLA meeting. 1- http:/ asemana.sapo.cv/spip.php?

Tales From A Speck In The Atlantic. Wednesday, February 9, 2011. Belgians, Germans, Cape Verdeans, Oh My My! And the peaks are beautifully high. How does a volunteer come out of the depths and reach a point where he/she is able to see the future? So, all of that being said, the roller coaster continues. And damn, the peaks are beautiful.

Tales From A Speck In The Atlantic. Saturday, April 21, 2012. I have been silent on this blog for some time now. Mostly I think because I have lost interest in what I do here. I’m tired. Ready for whatever that next step may be. Let me do my best to catch you up on what has happened in the world of Peace Corps over the past few months. The whales are back and I have been assisting the Irish Whale and Dolphin group with research when the need help. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The Rambl...

Tales From A Speck In The Atlantic. Friday, April 29, 2011. Long Titles and Pleasantries. The first day of meetings was incredibly productive, I was doing my very best to understand the Portuguese and felt as though the other two Peace Corps Volunteers as well as myself made some great contributions that were taken seriously and even stayed permanently in the project document. Go us! What does the mean to me and my future on Boa Vista? I will be coming home for a short visit in July! No… oh. ok. If you g...

Tales From A Speck In The Atlantic. Monday, May 23, 2011. Matt In Real Life. This time last month I was hiding in my house trying to forget that I actually am a Peace Corps Volunteer.

http://mattacre.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Tales From A Speck In The Atlantic. Saturday, September 25, 2010. Disclaimer: I had been asking for pigeon soup ever since I received my first pigeon in week 3. The soup was incredible; the people all had a good time, including me. We talked all night about my first day here and how completely incompetent I was, my mother actually has a pretty good impression of me from the first day that I arrived! And so with the inaugural tortilla, beer, and Mourna I am a Peace Corp Volunteer in Boa Vista, Cape Verde.
