Friends - I am sending this first blog account from Philadelphia where I have been for the past two days - learning about what the Peace Corps expects and meeting the other 25 people in the Kenya group.  We all kept waiting for President Obama to arrive and wish us well on our travels, but he never showed up.  

The above photos are from my final days in the states.

This is a bit boring but I wanted to get something sent out before I leave the States.  I won't have internet access for at least a couple of months so wait till at least August to read an update.  

Kwa Heri  !
