And, you're right, I did (physically) leave America two months ago. But just because we physically leave somewhere (or someone), it doesn't mean we've necessarily mentally or behaviorally left them behind. With that in mind, on Friday, I will be swearing in as an official U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer and leaving the protective American bubble of pre-service training.
This event will probably be the single biggest change since I got on the plane two months ago. And since I don't have electricity at my home (although I have it at school), I can't be sure how much blogging I'll be doing while I'm there. So, I would like to share some photos with you while I have the chance. I can't take credit for these photos, though; they were all taken by my amazing groups 32 colleagues. Thanks!
Photo: Nice, Western-style block houses (painted a variety of delightful colors)
Photo: Traditional mud hut that is commonly found in the North.
Photo: Fat cakes cooking in an outdoor kitchen. Namlish to American English Translation: Slightly sweetened dough deep frying in a dutch oven. Delicious and filling little treat, easy to make, just not so great on the health front.
Photo: A baboon. It's quite common to see these mischievous little guys wander around (usually in troops). Just like any other wild animals, however, it is wise to keep your distance.
Photo: A springbok. Antelope/deer-looking creature.
Photo: Wildebeest, with the correct pluralization being wildebeest(s)?
Photo: A giraffe, looking amazingly graceful and elegant as usual.
Photo: An elephant, blending in quite well with its surroundings.
Photo: Part of the Owamboland group (this is only about 1/3 of us!) in Etosha National Park.

Thank you for sharing your feelings about moving on to your new home.
I hope you are able to blog. You have filled in the gaps for me. You all don't see so far away because of your blog. Have fun and be safe. Hope your the next chapter in your Peace Corps adventures is all you hoped it to be and more.
