The Long and Winding Road

Today I hit the dusty trails and made my way up to Washington DC where we’re having staging. This is just Peace Corps lingo for orientation.

Time will pass quickly one you arrive, get settled in and begin work on your real reason for being there.
Just stay safe. Have as much fun as you can. Explore as much of the country as you safely can do. Make lots of new friends and you will find it will soon be time to come home to us. If not we may invade your premises1
