Even though I left behind many friends and family, I have a new family...my Peace Corps family. There are 44 trainees from all over the US, but mostly fresh out of college. We are now starting this incredible journey together and I really can't wait to get going!
I have had two really long days on a row. First was departure day. I really have awful luck with flights. My plane got changed and I only arrived 15 minutes before we started. But I wasn't the last to arrive so that's all that matters ;)We learned more about general expectations of Peace Corps and got to know each other better. It feels good to be with people as idealistic and motivated to make a difference as I am!
Then another early day to get to Panama. No worries with our flights and we were met by our program directors right outside the gate to take our first group photo. Then a short drive to Ciuad del Saber at the old Fort Clayton for more orientation. It is reassuring to hear more about the programs and what is going on.
So....I am in Panama! Wooooo!
