Garmajoba Megobaris da Ojakhi!

Well I finally made it to Georgia safe and sound. Upon arrival at 3 am the volunteers were shuttled from the Tbilisi airport to a part of "old town" in Tbilisi to take a misvidobis korpusi (peace corps) group photo. We then went to an old soviet mountain retreat for 6 days of orientation.

I am currently in my training site, a village outside of Gori. Gori is famous around these parts for being the birthplace of Stalin and his face is everywhere. I will be in my villlage for around 2 months. You will be glad to know that I have perfected the squat and spend far less time in the bathroom these days. My host family is wonderful and I have a host sister who is going to Texas in August as part of a high school exchange program so she is very excited to practice her near perfect english with me. I dont know how she feels about me practicing my disasterous Georgian. WEll that is all for now, i am at an internet cafe in Gori and my time is running out. I have tried to post pictures, hopefully it will work. I miss you all but am having an awesome time here. No supras yet.

Blogmania

I have this sweet blog. One day I will have something of interest to write, today not so much. 4 days until I blow my peace fingers to the Lanc Lanc and everyone I have ever known. I can't wait to become violently ill when this finally hits me, probably somewhere over the Atlantic.
