“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain

First Days
Day 1: We arrived this afternoon. PCV's and staff greeted us at the airport. From there we went to a 'retreat' center. I had some delicious pineapple and super sweet coffee before a short session about how training will go and a brief talk about medical stuff. i got my mosquito net and we had dinner,which included rice,chicken, and carrots w/potatoes.
Day 2: We toured the training center today. It is going to be a great place to be the next 3 weeks.I started speaking Spanish, and I'm not too bad. At the end of the day I met my host family. I will be staying with a nice lady and her 2 older kids. Her 7 year old niece came over and talked my ear off. I took my first bucket bath and will sleep under a mosquito net for the second night. My Kindle has been the best thing I've packed so far, free internet just about everywhere. I did have a moment today, I have temporarily misplaced my PC passport. I'll let you know when it turns up.
All I can ask is for the rest of my trip to continue to be like these first two days.
