*Hasta Luego Mis Amigos!* See you later my friends!

At my interview, my recruiter asked me how early I could be ready to depart. I originally put down April though he was pushing for me to do January or February. So March was the compromise. I wanted time to spend with friends and family. It's been an interesting journey of living in the mountains, moving around. . .but the truth is, for a large chunk of time, I am away somewhere where there isn't much internet, telephone, or electricity. And when I finish those jobs, I have the tendency of running off to random places such as Peru and Bolivia. So, I am very thankful to have had the opportunity to spend time with friends on the East coast (who I haven't seen in over 2 years!) and with friends spread out through Cali (though I didn't get to do the whole tour that I originally had planned). Each experience I have had has allowed me to come in contact with some amazing people who have become very good friends. . .I look forward to the Peace Corps and what it may bring. But for the meantime, it is nice to have the chance to "tool around" with good old pals before I disappear for the next 2 years. Thanks all for the good times. Much love as always.
