Halfway there

I'm in Philadelphia at my staging event now.  The trip to Philly went well.  I even got a little sleep on the plane.  I went to lunch in the city with a girl from our group, then we started in on business.  I've gotten to meet a lot of fellow volunteers. There are 35 of us heading out together to The Gambia.  We had several hours of seminars covering things we'll need to know and what to expect in the next couple of days.  I got to have a good dinner at a Cuban restaurant a group of us walked to, plus some good hang-out time with other new PCTs.  I think we've got a good group of people and I'm excited for us all to get started on training!  I don't know when I'll get to update next, but I'll get something on here as soon as I can letting you know how it's going.  Love, one of the world's newest Peace Corps Trainees, Lindsay.
