I am not sure if I will be able to get to email in the next week and a half as I will be on vacation. I just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas! I just finished the first Peace Corps IST meeting, nice to see other members of my training group(stage mates). It was nice to share a few fun traditions;such as Secret Santa, drinking hot chocolate, and watching the movies "Elf" and "Love Actually" with other volunteers. Often it is hard to remember that it is Christmas as the weather is so warm and there aren't a lot of decorations displayed except in the Capital. However, I am reminded of Christmas when I see a decorated tree at a church, Christmas lights in the window of a store, and a person wearing a Santa suit (must be really warm) or when I receive Christmas Cards at the Post Office. Thanks for sending cards as I love hearing news!(my address: BP 35, Amparafaravola 504, Madagascar)
We ended our week long meeting with a trip to the US Embassy in the Capitol city today. It was nice to hear from the General Affairs, Political, and Safety and Security Officers about their work in Madagascar. We were mainly excited tor the pool party at the Embassy. It was a wonderfully and relaxing end to this week . I hope my travel to the beach will be just as relaxing.
Have a Merry Christmas !
