12 September 2007
Well, that’s it. As of today, we are no longer Peace Corps volunteers. We’ve spent the last week in Pretoria – Adam got a new front tooth, I took the GRE, and for the past three days we have been poked, prodded, and interviewed in preparation for our departure from Peace Corps. So far, no reports of any parasites or diseases so I guess we’ve done well. Though a part of me feels like I really didn’t get the true African experience if I don’t walk away with a parasite!
We left our village on Wednesday of last week. It was sad, but we’re going to stop in again as we pass by again in a month, so it doesn’t feel very final. Our schools got together and had traditional outfits made for us as a going away present, which was pretty cool. (see photo!) Other than that, I really don’t have much to say. We really won’t have internet access for the next month, as we are taking our field guide training course in Kruger National Park, so you won’t hear from us until the middle of October. But boy, we should have some stories to tell by that point! So until then, take care! Stay tuned for word of our travels…

Our traditional Tswana outfits (no, Adam's pants aren't traditional - just the shirt!). This is the schoolyard of our village's school, and our little dog who followed us everywhere standing in our shadows!
