Greetings from Saint Lucia

Saint Lucia is a mountainous island with beautiful rainforests and beaches.  Unfortunately, I haven’t had much time to check out the island.  On the plus side, I have spent the past 6 days with twenty-eight amazing men and women of all ages who  provide me with inspiration and happiness.  I look forward to the next two years of the Peace Corps and I will be sad to say goodbye to some of my fellow trainees for awhile.  I head out for SVG tomorrow (:  I can’t wait to meet Mr Cool!

Training has been intense but also full of funny stories and explorations.   A few mornings I have gone on runs in Castries and spent some afternoons walking down to the beach. I love to see skits from the Peace Corps Medical Officers and hear stories from the CD Margo on her experiences in Kenya, Sri Lanka, and the EC.  I have had the opportunity to eat great EC meals at the hotel and I look forward to trying some of the fruits and veggies that were presented in the nutrition session.  The PC team on St Lucia is friendly and welcoming.  It is a great l-ship team.
