Pictures! Finially...
Hopefully this works. Here are a few pictures into my life so far during Peace Corps Training, called Pre-Service training or (PST). I am having a lot of fun, but it is a lot of structure-- and a lot of bossing around from host mothers who don't understand why one would want to go running, or who feel it necessary to let you know that if you take a shower after dark, or rather, if you touch water (ie wash clothes) after the sun goes down you will definitely get sick, maybe even die. They try to protect us as much as possible, at least they care enough to inform us, silly Americans.
To go along with these pictures I included another quote, one I just read today, that accurately describes what PST is about, and what all my experiences fit into. Enjoy!
Peace Corps training is like no other training in the world, having somethign in common with college life, officer's training, Marine basic training, and a ninety-day jail sentence.
