First Blog from Carolyn Reading your blog made me feel as if I was there seeing it all. I loved hearing about the swearing in and knowing who you were talking about . How encouraging to read about the PCV's result with the math class. You will make a difference, too. I could empathize with the long day at the homestay function. The music sounds wonderful. I did not get to experience that at my homestay, which was
so detached as far as my homestay host. Are children interacting with you from the homestay? I eagerly await your next story!
Hi Carolyn, So happy to hear from you!It sounds like you are enjoying the new life you have chosen for yourself. I can\'t wait to hear the \"goat\" story....must be a good one. I hope your taking pictures of some of these events, as they sound priceless...a video would be even better!! :0) Keep us updated on the next step you take......Hugs and kisses! Diane
A real PCV! Congratulations on your "graduation" tomorrow! It sounds like you are having an incredible time there. The image of you in a hot, small place tuning in to the music to get you through is so clear, it's like I'm there. And I would have loved to see your dance! We are closing in on the end of summer here, just as you will begin to move into spring. Enjoy! And know that you are loved!
Got photos of Carolyn dancing? Hi Carolyn!
What a great adventure. Thanks for introducing us to some of the people in your life there. I can almost hear the music from the weekend in your letter.I'd love to see a picture of you in the native garb, learning traditional dance. DO send photos!!! Sounds like if you get the teaching position you will be following a wonderful teacher who really cares about her students, and you'll be lucky to have a partner for a while. That should be a great advantage.
Kristofer and I are still adventuring right here at home, putting a floor in our attic today. Johanna left Berlin last week and is traveling in Norway, and Kaia flew back to NYC after an all-too-short visit home. I guess growing up at Holden didn't coddle them too much. Nor you, my dear!!!!!
Thanks for the blog and for keeping in touch.
2nd try I once had comment here....was it so bad that you deleted it??? So this is a test and also a way to let you know I am thinking of you. I look forward to having Nate and Serena her on Sat. night. Love!!!! good luck in the the piece core.
Thinking of you Nearing the eve of your departure, I hope you are at "peace" in your "core." Love you so, and will miss you. But looking forward to joining your adventure via cyber space! Tally ho!
On your way! (2nd try!) Dear Carolyn - so good to get the link to your blog and your address. I will be thinking of you a lot as you adventure in South Africa. So happy that this has finally come together for you! Go with God, and take care of yourself. Love, Molly
Oh, yes, I had a bit of trouble. Amanda and I discovered the formatting difficulty and deleted and resent the post. You just got to the first one before we could fix it.
