The adventure began today, and I met my "staging" group in Philadelphia. Staging consists of three days where the Peace Corps prepares you (more or less) for what to expect in your host country. There are 71 of us going to Mali on Wednesday, which is supposedly one of the largest staging groups in a longtime! Several married couples, as well as some older (40+, I'm betting) volunteers are among the large gaggle of 20-some's. So you're probably wondering about my first cultural experience, and here it is: I ate my first ever Philly cheesesteak! Ha! And I'm sad to say that I was not that impressed.
That's about all I have to report for now. There will be other (and more interesting) posts to come in the near future!
