Peace Corps Invitation

I am going to... Nicaragua!
I am so excited and relieved to finally know where I will be for the next two years. I knew that I was going to be some where in the Inter-America Pacific, but I never imagined it would be Nicaragua. I admit I know very little about the country and I can't wait to sit down and start finding out about all that this country has to offer.

Right now I will be leaving August 31st for Washington DC to be admitted, then I am taking off on September 1st for Jinotepe, Nicaragua for the next 3 months!

As for climate one guarantee is that it is going to be hot! The book mentioned three climate zones: very hot/dry or very hot/humid, hot/dusty or hot/muddy. One constant: the heat.

The letter came in a fancy blue folder and about 200 pages of reading. I have 5 days now to read it all and decide if I want to accept the placement. One thing I have to be careful of is that when I call I will have to take an oral quiz to make sure that I did all the reading.
