starting on the journey

Here we are in Washington DC...all 50 of us...it's a big group, full of wonderful, quirky, inspiring characters. We're flying out at 5:50 pm tomorrow. It's hard to believe the time is actually here, that the Peace Corps adventure is finally beginning. The room was full of all kinds of emotions today...a hint of anxiety, a touch of nervousness, ( everyone seems nervous about learning the language), a dose of excitement, a pinch of giddiness, and a healthy dose of giggly goofiness.

After a stopover in Frankfurt, we'll be flying into Sofia and then moving onto Borovets (it was initially supposed to be Strelcha, but due to major flooding in Bulgaria, our location has moved to a resort mountain town, which everyone is pretty excited about...the mountains, the hiking, the trees, etc.) It's been interesting for me to watch the beginning of the merging of these two cultures that have both been a huge part of my life...Bulgaria and the USA, it's wonderful to have a big group of people to share that with. More to come...love to all :)
