Today we finished our training in Philadelphia, and we ship out for Armenia around 3pm tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon. While I was a little scared before the training began, I feel really confident considering our group, and I think we’re all going to be just fine the next few years. While I can’t say if all 51 of us will leave together in 26 months, I think everyone here’s heart is in the right place. It’s reassuring to be with 50 other people who think the same way you do and aren’t questioning your decisions. But thank you to everyone back home for all your support – I definetly appreciate it.
Today we talked about lots of PC policies, got to show off my acting abilities, and will soon enough be eating all the sushi I can eat (probably for a while)! I also ate lunch with a retired lady who was born in Thailand, so we talked about that, and she also gave me the inside scoop on oil companies (reminded me a lot of Thank You for Smoking). Tomorrow we’re going to check out the Liberty Bell and some Phili landmarks, so look for pictures of that eventually.
I’m not sure when I’ll be able to write again – we’ll have to see how good Armenian internet really is. If you don’t hear from me for a while, remember, NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS. I’ll close with a good quote we heard today, found on a tree in San Fransisco and somewhat encompasses what PC is all about, to me:
The meaning of life is to plant a tree that you will never expect to sit under its shade.

Kyle I am glad you are doing well and are with great people. The fresh food deal sounds pretty tasty. Screw processed food, natural all the way. But I am kinda bummed about lack of utilities. I will send you parts for a wind mill in a few months. You could start the first wind mill farm in armenia. It would be sweet!!
Post your address sometime. I haven’t found it yet.
