Festina Lente

Thank you Missy for the lovely letter, and for the organic ´smooshed´ fruit. As you can imagine they are no where to be found in Peru and I LOVE that stuff.  Nice work. I´m so glad you enjoy the old blog.

Sorry I´ve been so absent…I´ve been sick and busy as well. Sick with everything that could possibly go wrong with one´s stomach, and busy wrapping things up and packing and buying presents for my family and teachers. Being sick here sucks, but I think it will suck more when I don´t have a toilet. Alas. I think I´m starting to feel better, or at least get used to being a little ill.

I leave for Lima tomorrow night with the group, and then take off for Chiclayo Saturday night on an overnight bus. And that is it, voila. I´m a Peace Corps Volunteer. I will cry a lot tomorrow because I don´t want to leave my awesome family here. Hopefully my family there will be of equal or greater awesome.

Apparently I have to set up my own mailbox when I get there, so I don´t have an address yet. I do have a phone number which I´m obviously not going to post on the world wide set of tubes, but if you want it just shoot me an email, and then you can call me and we can talk about the weather, or anything else that you want to chat about.

Last night I had a dream that I broke a plate and because of that got kicked out of Peace Corps. How weird!
