Pre Peace Corps Trip

I spent some time in Southern Virginia, northern Virginia and Philadelphia. It was a whirlwind of a trip but was wonderful. It was just the right amount of time to get my head in the right place to come to the DR. This journey is going to be hard at first. I am nervous about learning Spanish but I am excited too.

I got to ride on a train, see the beauties of southern Virginia, have some adventures to Middle Earth to pick berries, see the oldest street in Philadelphia, do the Jersey shore and most importantly be with people I love. Friends and family make the world wonderful!

Stop one

I have been in Seattle for just under a week. It has been fun but it feels like I am in a holding pattern waiting for the real adventure to start.

The drive was a long 15 hours but I made it without incident.  There was defiantly lots of singing at the top of my lungs on that one.

The highlight of my time here was the Dirty Dash. My sister came up with our costumes. It was a blast, filled with running swimming in muck and climbing slippery walls.
