Before we go

There is an incredible amount of things we have to get done, and making time to say goodbye to family and friends is really tough, but we are doing what we can. For the last 9 days we have been on the road visiting family and friends and we traveled over 2,500 Miles going from Tulsa to Sedona, AZ, to Denver, CO to Colorado Springs, CO to Cimmaron, KS and home. The odd thing about that is the entire distance we traveled in 9 days is more than the amount of paved road in Honduras. Since the purpose of this blog is to share experiences of the Peace Corps with as many people as possible, I would like to share two stories about what has happened to us recently.

First story edited out. after having been through staging, and started training, I´ve decided complaining about money and early mornings is really silly. If you read it, good. If you missed it, I´m sorry.

The second story comes from our travels. My grandma had an article for us to read as soon as we got to Kansas (she usually does), but this one may be of the most interesting things she has supplied me with to date. She found that a gentleman from Kansas would be serving that same time as us. As it would turn out he is an older gentleman, but it is nice to know someone in advance. We met with him at his house and it seems he has experienced alot of the same things during the application process.

More later, my attenion span is spent.
