Close of Service Conference

Is there really a better way to bring closure to something like Peace Corps than spend 3 days at a resort with waterslides, paintball, wireless internet, and air conditioning? Well only if it includes a clown, hot air ballon, and an elephant but that would be ridiculous. Our last official Peace Corps event went smoothly and we are now ready to assimilate back into America. I'm sure there will be akward moments when we point directions with our lips or speak in fragmented English/Tagalog or maybe just get frustrated because we can't find a sweet enough mango but I feel for the most part that transitioning from the Philippines to America is an easier task than many other countries in the world. Our countdown is about six weeks before we leave our site and head to Manila to fill out paperwork to make the end of our service official.

Salamat sa mga naibahagi ninyong tulong sa inyong sari-sariling lugar. Sana'y hinde ninyo makalimutan ang Pilipinas.

i like the pictures, and i think a clown at COS would have just distracted from the bubble baths that i took TWICE A DAY. so much for saving all that water w/two years of bucket showers :)
