So Im trying to start out strong and blog on a regular basis when I have internet. I am currently in Philly, just finished what they call 'staging'. We talked about expectations, aspirations and what makes us nervous, pretty typical, pre-departure stuff. Everyone that I've met so far is pretty cool. There are quite a few people from the Midwest, even a few from Wisconsin. Oh and a women from Rockford, crazy right?!
Flying was pretty smooth, mom and i had quite the adventure trying to get to the airport, really messy construction and horrible signs ..I blame Walker.. Arriving was kind of a challenge with my luggage but i figured it out. Who knows how I'm going to get all of it to my site when the time comes but we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
So all along I've been telling people how Im going to be in Tumbaco the first couple days then to Quito for the next three months training...yeah totally off...apparently we are in Tumbaco the whole time for training, oops...it's a lot smaller town and about an hour away from Quito. Im not really sure what my internet access will be like but it's likely i'll have some access..The address that I put up is still correct, I'm sure we will be traveling to and from the city (Quito) frequently, Peace Corps office for Ecuador is there, it just so happens that our training is in Tumbaco.
Well that's it for now! The next blog will be in ECUADOR!!! I love you all my lovely 5 followers...lol
besos
