Big Win

I can only assume that you all got as rowdy during the USA-Algeria game as all 30+ of us (packed in an upstairs room of a bar in front of 19 inch tv) did. Our training director is a stud and allowed us to stay out past our curfew to watch the game, and the atmosphere was great. If we didn't already stick out, which we definitely do, raucously screaming "USA-USA-USA" for extended periods of time after dark definitely solidified our roles as crazy Americans. Anyways, it was a great win and not having to be home while the sun is still up does wonders for your psyche. Time is flying by over here. We have about a month until we finish training, which is crazy to me because it seems like we just got here. On Sunday we are all going to a town called Machakos for a few days of more intensive HIV/AIDS training, and then that next weekend we are having a 4th of July party. Before we all know it we'll be heading to Nairobi for swearing in (assuming we all pass our language tests). Everyone is anxious to get settled into their sites and get rolling with some real work. We all enjoy the time we get to spend with each other, but there is definitely a sense of wanting to get out to our communities. While it will be sad to have everyone go in different directions, there are already some potentially awesome trips in the making between safaris, climbing Mt. Kenya, and white water rafting on the Nile River in Uganda (which i'm really excited about, if we can make it happen). Well that's pretty much it for now, i'll talk to you guys soon.
