Photo Title	Host Mom, My Moto, and Me
Photo Description	I remember the excitement when I learned that I was going to get a motorcycle to help me do my extension work. Peace Corps provided us with one week of training with a US certified motorcycle instructor, and a shiny red Suzuki 100 dirt bike. Here I am with my host mom in front of her house. That motorcycle expanded the possibilities for my movement exponentially--I could visit more families, could work easily with other Volunteers in my cluster, and had more frequent access to the market. Before the moto I walked 7K each way to town or took the bus, which was extremely infrequent. Sometimes it would pass by once a day, sometimes we would go months without a bus.
