Today I met the 42 other Peace Corps volunteers going to Paraguay this week. Only a handful of them are participating in the same environmental education program that I am in. The other programs are: crop extension, agro-forestry, and bee keeping. Yes bees as in bumble bees. Don't ask me what exactly they do, because I am not sure yet. Something about training people to run honey producing businesses.
Anyway, the trainees are from all over the US, but Colorado has the most representatives from one state (5 trainees). Others are from New York, Florida, Cali, Oklahoma, etc. etc (with about equal men and women. All but one of the volunteers are in their mid twenties (except one ~50 year old woman).
Today we spent meeting the rest of the volunteers, going over logistics, anxiety's and aspirations, and safety. Tomorrow we fly to Buenos Aires, have a 10 hour layover, then off to Acuncion, Paraguay.

Yo dude, tried to call you on Mon, but I guess you left really early to save the world. It makes me happy to see you finally using the internet... you have finally come over to the dark side. Keep up the posts, and spend most of your time there finding out where we can meet up to do some skiing next summer.
Kisses
