Washington D.C.

My first impressions of the Peace Corps started when I arrived here in D.C. for pre-service training. I'm really glad that everyone I've met seems nice. Total there are 35 men and women going to Guatemala with me. There are a few more girls than guys and most are around my age. Only one in the group is older than 30 and she is around 50 or so. It's really neat to see people doing this after they retire!

Anyway, I don't have much time to catch you up. Most of the stuff I've learned is about safety and security and how to act appropriately when I arrive in country. I think it will be around 1-2 weeks before I can make another post... but it will be a meaty one for sure - with lots of pictures. Until the, Adios!
