slight change of plans

Because the Peace Corps wants to remain as apolitical as possible, they have decided it's not a good idea for us all to go to Honduras right now. Instead, we will be sent to the Dominican Republic for a couple of weeks of training, until the situation (hopefully) blows over. The don't think the situation is a serious threat at this point and all the current Honduran PCVs are remaining at their posts. Since this change in plans happened yesterday, we're not all flying together anymore - some of us are leaving tomorrow, and some of us (including me) are leaving on Thursday. I think we're all really excited that we get to experience two countries for the price of one, so to speak. Also, in DR, it's possible that I'll have internet connection more readily available :)

Miami!

Made it safely to Miami. Haven't heard anything more about the coup, other than what CNN tells me. I expect I'll know more tonight. Registration starts soon, so I need to go downstairs, I guess.
