Last night home...

Its Monday evening, and my official last night at home for two years! TWO YEARS? I can't believe this time has come so quickly but I'm more excited than anything else! Tomorrow I leave bright and early for a flight to Miami (first class, compliments of Mr. Kyle Bohman!) and then its orientation for a day in a half. I've been told we get to go out on the town on the Peace Corps dollar too! Isn't it nice to know your taxes are going being used wisely :)

Wednesday evening I leave for good. Asuncion here I come! I'm anxious to starting learning about Paraguay's culture and languages. This will be a life altering experience, I have no doubt, so lets get to the altering!

I'll try to notify the masses once I have a cell phone. Otherwise, please email me at betsy.curry@yahoo.com so I know I am loved.

Adios amigos!

Paraguay Contact Info

The lovely people at the Peace Corps have emailed me a hefty 111 page document about my life in my new home. Below is my address, I thought it would be best to post it now before access to a computer was limited.

Betsy Curry PCT (and after I'm done with training, you'll write PCV)
Cuerpo de Paz
162 Chaco Boreal c/Mcal. López
Asuncsión 1580, Paraguay
South America

Also, my other big news is that I WILL have a cell phone! I was apprehensive about having this technological cruch, but many current volunteers said it has made them feel much more comfortable. If you're thinking about calling it (I'll be sure to post the # as soon as I get it), I would suggest looking into Skype. It's an online service (skype.com) and worked well for me during my days in Europe.

More info to come...
