We swore in yesterday afternoon and now are official Peace Corps Volunteers!!! The ceremony went well with reciting the official oath of office and everything. 58 of us swore in - we lost one this past week to early termination. There's not really too much to say.
We leave for our sites on Saturday because Friday we have a mandatory meeting about Cholera. Don't worry they've got it all under control.
Some foods that i now eat:
Tomatoes (right?! completely unHeidi like)
Avocados (The food of the gods, i could eat one everyday)
Chicken livers and gizzards
Cow intestine/stomach (smells like a 4H Fair in your mouth)
Pana (cooked nuts - Haitian style)
Hail Heidi! Machete wielding spider stomping rock star of the DR! I am not suprised there are screaming hoardes following your stardust. So added to your care package goes snake boots, altoids for the 4H breath, and the industrial strength wasp spray (shoots 20 feet!), we have to give you some distance from the tarantulas, and of course, lip gloss. Don't think of the chickens as voyers, they are actually look outs, fine feathered watchdogs. What else do you need and where am I sending it?
