So we are here!!!! It has been a blast so far. There have been moments when I have felt overwhelmed, but I am super excited about being here. Sometimes it doesn't even feel like I am really here, but then I go outside and see nothing but tropical trees :) Right now we are in a nice resort being spoiled. Tomorrow we have water training safety, which will be fun! Then on Thursday we find out where our cluster will be and what language we will be speaking! That will be very interesting. I have learned that there are over 130 languages in the Philippines and PCTs (Peace Corps Trainees) learn 4 of them. We don't learn all four, only one of the four options, depending on where our cluster site is. I am also interested in finding out who will be in my cluster, besides Ryan of course. The other day, to try and fight off jet lag (which I am still fighting) I went to the animal farm here. While there I saw some tigers, lots of birds, deer, monkeys and crocs. One guy in our group feed the crocs which was so cool to see. It sucked for the croc that finally got the chicken, because then another bigger croc stole it from him and ate the whole thing!!! LOL :) Anyways everything is going great and can't wait to see where we go from here!

I am in the process of uploading pics so please click on the photobucket link to see them!! (So photobucket is really slow here, I uploaded a few pics to facebook. I will see if it works better at my site, if not I will try using something else. I will keep you updated. Thanks for your patience and understanding!)


This is when we arrived at our hotel!


Here is where we eat all our meals!


Here are some of the teenagers that preformed for us, while they are eating.
