I'm headed to Washington DC tomorrow for a couple days of fun before I set off for Madagascar. I have packed my life into a rolling suitcase, a camping backpack, and my school bag...all weighing in around 80lbs. The other volunteers and I have been chatting back and forth figuring out exactly what to bring and what to leave. It's not so easy as you might guess. And since the Peace Corps doesn't assign us to a specific site until over a month after we arrive, it just leaves that much more up in the air. But, hey, that's really half the fun. The Peace Corps is all about being flexible, learning to adapt, and making lasting connections with those you meet. Considering that my journey spans 2 days and involves traveling with 15 or so strangers to a country where we don't speak the language, I get a feeling that I'll be flexing my new skills rather quickly.
Wish me luck! I'll be sure to share the exciting photos and cultural experiences as soon as I can.
