Almost there!!

I can't believe I finally leave in less than 1 week.  It seems like it's been forever....started the application process in November 2010, was accepted in February 2011, have been slowly mentally & physically getting ready & now I can almost taste it!  There's been a transition that's been happening for about a week.  It seems that things at home in my community look different--it's as if there's a filter over my eyes and I'm taking things in differently.  I believe I'm saying adios to my surroundings in preparation for my leave-taking.  It's like I'm absorbing my world here in the Berkshires and kind of putting it away to make space for this wonderful experience I'm about to embark on.  I'm open & ready for whatever is ahead.  Yeah!!

Here is a photo of getting organized, having spent too much time already trying to pack.

    Tú debes decirnos todo acerca de sus aventuras en los Andes. Has escrito la primera entrega en Inglés, pero puedo predecir que vas a escribir la mayoría de sus historias en español. ¡Está bien! Tú aprenderás mucho español, y definitivamente vamos a estar entretenidos.

    Am in the Miami airport & am jumping out of my skin. Everyone in my group es muy simpático. On the flight here I sat next to a man from Ecuador, por supuesto! Never fails to be a meant to be experience!
