So we woke up SUPER early on Sunday to get to the airport where we had plenty of time to kill. That was fine with me...better than being stressed. We then borded the air plane and proceeded to wait for 2.5 hours on the runway. AWESOME. Needless to say, the 56 trainees were beyond ready to arrive in Georgia! I sat next to an awesome guy in the program and we chatted until we both passed out.
We made it with just enough time in Istanbul to jump on our connecting flight, what a relief. Once we arrived in Georgia, Peace Corps staff took us to dinner. After dinner we received lots of important information about this crazy week of orientation. We were all exhausted and ready for a good nights sleep!
Language class today was rough but I have high hopes. Everyone is wonderful here!!!! The country is beautiful. I have to run, people need the computer. I will write more later.
