My First Post
Just six weeks left until I leave for Peace Corps Staging in Philadelphia before heading to Senegal. I've decided to try and blog during my time to share my experiences with my family, friends and anyone else interested in reading my random thoughts.
I'm currently far away from West Africa, sitting in an internet cafe in Davis, CA with my dear friend and experienced blogger Kiyomi. So here are a few pictures of what I've been up to over the last weeks - triathloning! Thanks for all the good time to fellow participants. Keep checking over the coming weeks for more postings as my departure approaches!
