Everything is packed except this computer and my futon mattress which is now my bed. The storage unit is the best game of tetras I have ever played. Unpacking it is going to be a nightmare, but I'll worry about that in two years. After all of my waiting for a Peace Corps assignment the last month or so has flown by a little too fast. I apologize now to the people I didn't get to see. The going away party was amazing, and I'm still surprised that the cops didn't get called. Now there will be a few days of backpacking for one last dose of snow, mountains, and friends. Then off to Montana to see the family. I leave there on July 6 for 'staging' in Philadelphia. After I have been properly 'staged' all of us Peace Corps volunteers will leave for Bamako on the 9th. Yikes, I'm moving to Africa, Timbuktu, literally. I hope training is not as hard as I have heard it is. And I hope I learn all the French I was suppose to know before I left, and then some. Hopefully I'll be able to post a few stories here, and lots of pictures. I'm a better photographer than I am a writer.
