Swear In

I know it happened a while ago but welcome to life in Zambia! Here are Laura and I dressed up in our recently made Zambian clothes.


The ceremony itself was at Peace Corps Headquarters in Lusaka and as you can tell from the pics the grounds are beautiful.

And I'm back!

Well training has now ended and as of three weeks ago true village has begun and contrary to what I've been told it is crazy busy. These first three weeks at our new home have invovled meeting everyone from our next door neighbor who is a security guard at the clinic (think Mr. Rogers but as a 60 year old Zambian), to Cheif Nymphande (also a great guy who I just showed the american delicacy "Smores") to every NGO and offical you can think of. In fact that's why I'm able to post today I've just rode my bike into town for a meeting tommorow.

Anyway my new adventures will be posted in detail in the coming weeks and I hope to hear from all my readers, via e-mail or better yet snail mail!
