Just a quick note to let you all know we arrived safely and are doing well. We have had a warm reception, literally and figuratively. the people are great, and weve been sweating buckets. Training is intense but we have mangos to distract us.
Will write more soon from a US keyboard...

Leavin on a jet plane
We made it to Philly, safe and sound, after many hard goodbyes to friends and family. We seem to have a great group of about 30 people that we are training with, which will really shape our experience in Burkina.
We leave for Burkina this evening at 6:00. Its really difficult to believe that its actually happening. It was delayed so many times that it felt like we were chasing something that was faster than us. Well, that thing has stopped and I think we're going to crash into it and the reality of being a Peace Corps Trainee. Our hopes are high and our anxieties still present. Thank you all for your support over the past months of our preparation. We will miss you all!
Won't have internet until a couple days after we arrive, so worry not if you don't see an immediate post.
Take care!
