Arrival!

Made it here safe and sound. Our flight left at midnight and arrived in the capital city around 6AM. We were treated to beautiful views of volcanoes backlit by a dark red sunrise. Upon landing we waded our way thru immigration and customs and boarded a old school with a psychedelic paint job and drove about 45 minutes to San Vicente, the city that our training takes place in. I was surprised at how much the countryside reminded me of Ghana, with similar roads, cars, houses, and plants. The city is better kept and cleaner than most cities in Ghana. Even though we were all fairly sleep deprived, our training began with a breakfast of ham stuffed crepes, a bean and rice mixture, and some sort of pastry. We then met the PC staff which included about 3 americans and 10 locals. The training today consisted of reviewing the PC goals and expectations, as well as various paperwork and speeches about our role in this country. We just arrived at a local hotel so we can get some sleep, we will stay until we move in with our host families on friday. I am the second youngest in our group of 30, and in the bottom bracket of spanish fluency, but I know that it will improve fast. The Salvadorans seem very friendly and welcoming so far. Tomorrow a have an interview in spanish that will place me in an appropriate level spanish class for our upcoming 10 weeks of training before we are assigned to a specific community site. Im having an amazing time and couldnt be more excited to be here. The possibilities seem limitless.
Please comment, ask questions, ect.
Muchos abrazos y besos a todos.
