Some of you know already know but right now I am in South Africa Right now on vacation. I'm having a great time at Sun City. My old man has a conference here and I thought I should tag a long. Its been a great trip. I took my first hot shower since October and it was great and I'm also eating more than my usual goat and pentard....(pentard is a bird in the north). My parents brought some goodies from the states and it was like Christmas. New t-shirts, a USA soccer jersey, candy, dvds and other odds and ends. Also while I'm here I have had access to Internet that dose not make dial up look fast, and I noticed on peacecorpsjournals.com that some people for the up coming 2010 June Stage are getting their formal invites for Togo. It will be nice not to be the newbies anymore. It's not that we are picked on or there is really any hazing, but it will be fun to have new faces in country. I remember how happy I was when I got my Togo invite (after having already reassigned twice). It was pretty surreal. There were a lot of ups and downs before leaving for Peace Corps and a lot more lot more after getting to Togo, but I wouldn't trade any of them. Except the diarrhea . Well if any invitees read this I hope you know that we all look forward to meeting you and if you have in questions just ask. The packing list is pretty damn long and you wont need most of it.
