We made it to Philadelphia!! Molly met us at the airport and loaded up all of our stuff. Funny, we had so much stuff that Nils had to take the shuttle to the hotel! No room for Nils. Molly also brought us dinner! Thanks Molly! It was simply delicious! It was good to see a friendly face before heading off to Romania with complete strangers!
Training started today. The trainers do a great job mixing up the activities and helping us get to know the other volunteers. There's young and old in our group, so we hear varied comments and experiences as we work in groups going over principles of development and safety. Most of our shared fear comes from not knowing what to expect in Romania and trying to soak in all the information. It's so nice we get to be together as a married couple! We're one of two couples in our group. It should be fun getting to know everyone!
We will continue to have Internet access until Wednesday early morning (so pretty much just tomorrow). Don't exect to hear from us the rest of the week since it will take time to get settled and find where all the "hotspots" are for internet and get an international phone card.
As to mailing things to us... it's better to wait to send us packages. Once we've finished training and provide you guys with a real address, then it's safe to send us things. Otherwise, it'll probably be sent back. BUT, you are free to send us LETTERS!!! :) Here's the address:
Our name
Peace Corps Romania
Str. Negustori nr. 16, Sector 2
Bucharest, Romania
We want to thank everyone who has helped us get this far. It STILL hasn't sunk in yet that we're going to Romania for 27 months. It's already been an amazing journey just preparing to go. Thank you. Love to all!!
