Well, I can't say I know all too much about what is about to happen. But here's what I do know. I'm off to Philadelphia tomorrow morning far too early, then after a few days of what can only be described as a government sponsored pep rally with a few dozen shots thrown in I'm off to Niger. On my birthday. Either I get a really long birthday or I miss it altogether, I haven't quite figured out that whole international date-line thing yet. The important point to make is that after talking to some wonderful Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (or RPCV's, because everything with these people is an acronym) I found out that while I'm in my 3 months of training there is a very good chance I won't have internet access. So this may be it for a while. Feel free to write me or email me! And pray for me or send be happy vibes, as always. Back to those wonderful RPCV's, I feel a little more confident about what's going to happen next based on the stories they told and the obvious passion they have for the countries in which they served. I hear I'll be eased in relatively slowly to the life of a volunteer, and Nigerien people are warm and lighthearted people who value humor, which of course makes me a happy camper. So until next time friends, whenever that will be, good bye and thank you!
