Welcome Friends, Family and Random web-perusers:
As many of you may know, I am soon leaving for a 27 month adventure with the Peace Corps in Senegal. I'm starting this blog to avoid spamming an e-mail list with updates, letting you check in as you please, and leaving me free to post as often as I like (i.e. as often as I'll actually have internet access). Feel free use this as communication as well as information, leave comments and love, ask questions, just say hi.. Every from-home interaction will be much appreciated!
Current itinerary: I'm flying out to DC March 3, orientation starts March 5, and flying to Senegal on the 6th. I'll have 2 months of pre-service training, and then I'll be assigned to my site for the following 2 years. I'll be an "Environmental Education Agent", but as for the specifics of what I'll actually be doing, there are many possibilities so I'll have to fill you in once I get there. All I know so far is I'll probably be living in a hut, eating lots of millet, and riding a bike.
I am so excited to start this new adventure, and even more so to share it with you all. Hope you enjoy the updates, thanks in advance for keeping up with what I'm doing!
-A
