Well my first day of being a Peace Corps volunteer is officially over. I am in Philly right now. I have only been here for a few hours, but my hotel is within walking distance of the Liberty Bell. I went there and saw some historic down Town areas and of course ate my very first Philly Cheesteak.
Hope all is well in Washington. I am thinking of everyone.

Well, I am busy putting the final touches on my plans to head over to Mozambique for a two year stay. I will be flying out of Seattle on the 27th of September. I will leave at 8:30 and arrive in Philadelphia at 4:30 in the evening. I will spend a few days there, getting an introduction to the Peace Corps, getting my shots and getting to know the other volunteers.
On the 30th of September I will get back on a plane to Johannesburg, South Africa. I will stay one night there and then be back on a plane in the morning to Maputo, Mozambique's capital city.
I will have a three month stay with a family in the capital. During that three months, I will undergo training, get used to the language and the culture. I will then be sworn in and my two years of service will officially begin.
It will go by quickly, even though it seams so far away.
Peace!
David
