Internet@!

So I have managed to sneak a few minutes on the global information network to which I am apparently having withdrawls from. Our training supervisors have restricted us from several froms of technological communication during our training period, but, for better or for worse, we have managed to chip away at the system to get a few minuted today.

Just to give you all a little update, I arrived in South Africa on February 4th with my 24 other Peace Corps Trainees (PCTs) and were shipped directly to out training site an hour and a half from Pretoria where we will be spending the next two months. I have now moved into my homestay in a small rural village. The landscape is breathtaking. The rainy season has created an striking horizon of interminable green plains dotted with small trees. The sky is overwhelming in size and the cloud systems are wonderful to watch especially when they deliver rain to save us from the unforgiving heat.

Unfortunately my time is up, but I will be back on in a few months with more info, pictures, videos and stories. I miss you all.

Chris

Hey Christopher! Heard you had a blog so I wanted to see for myself. I'm glad things are going well, or at least starting to get a little better for you. I can't believe it only just started and you still have 2yrs left. Although I'm more sad that we didn't get a chance to hang out before you left:( ... Take care of yourself and I'll be sure to stay in contact. Love you cousin ~Christine~
