I made it to Nicaragua!

Hi everyone!

So I made it here to Nicaragua after a loooong day of flights and orientation. I'm currently at a hotel in Managua until Friday, then I'll be off to my training site where I'll be living for the next 3 months. I'm excited about taking Spanish classes (I'm a dork)! However, right now I'm incredibly exhausted and very overwhelmed by all the information that is being thrown at us. It definitely doesn't sound like it'll be an easy 2 years and 3 months...

Keep the emails, etc. coming!!! I really appreciate hearing from everyone and the encouragement and love is what is getting me through the rest of the day. I was feeling pretty down until I came online and saw all the wonderful messages I've been getting from people.

Feel free to comment on my blog as well (just click the "comments" button below).

Hearing from volunteers who are currently serving, I will most likely have an internet cafe in or near my training site, so I'll try to come online at least once a week. I'll be living with a family and 3-4 other environmental education volunteers will be in my community. I'll keep you all updated as I learn more about what's going on.

Miss you all and please stay in touch!
