Becoming a blogger!

As I sit in my more-than-messy room, wading through the piles of things in ziplocs, I decided blogging would be far more enjoyable. I am not so sure how I feel about being a BLOGGER. I don't want to bore you with the adventures in my life. Alright - I guess it will be exciting! Instead of sending crazy group emails I will be posting on this. That means = the ball is in your court! So check it out when you like. Let me know if it gets to be a bit dull and I might share a few more of my real adventures.

Here are just a few points of interest you might like.

• I will be a three day donkey ride to the Internet (that's 6 days round trip!)

The Peace Corps will provide me with a first aid kit that includes condoms
And possibly a mountain bike (not part of the first aid kit)
