Estoy aqui, y casi listo

We arrived this morning to our departmental capital and will be headed to our sites this week. Here are some more pictures in review of training. There are some good stories of the end-of-training partying which may or may not encompass falling down stairs at a bar in Lima and getting two black eyes, peeing on someone's clothes, and so forth (not by me....). Leaving Lima, I was actually a bit sad as I realized I began to like Lima, maybe because I finally got to spend time in Miraflores (and failed to take pictures-for once). My feelings about going to site: nervous due to my poor Spanish skills, worried about acceptance, and questioning my overall readiness, but nevertheless, I'm headed out. It was hard saying goodbye to my fellow volunteer peeps, but my weird mood lately kept me from getting very emotional. I remember a lot of good times in training like the soccer tournament in 3 de Octubre, the anniversaries of the communities of 3 de Oct. and Yanacoto with the Toro Locos, the crazy presentations at the training center, the awesome, crazy combi rides, of course the awesome parties, and much, much more.
