Hi again,

Bolivia. I'm here! We landed in Cochabamba on Wednesday and have been going to multiple orientaton/training sessions. I know, boring. Sorry...

I know that I am starting on an adventurous, exciting and challenging adventure - kind of like going away to college when I was a mere 18 years of age. Coincidentally landing in Cochabamba, Bolivia reminded me of the green that I saw from the airport as I landed in Manchester, NH on September 10, 2001 eager to start my 'college experience'. The soft leafyness of the trees here is in stark contrast to the pines of the northeast. It is the rainy season so everything is wet and green. They say in the spring and summer the mountains turn to a deep red clay color. I am very excited to experience the changing seasons and colors of this country.

I will most likely be placed in the mid-western or southern part of Bolivia. However, I won't know for a 7 more weeks.

I hate to cut this short, but I just wanted to update it quick. Whenever I get online there are usually about 10 other peace corps volunteers in line behind me. Anyway, take care, everyone.
