Getting ready for Mexico

 Hello all, On August 27 I begin my 5th and likely my last adventure with Peace Corps.  I hace made some dear DEAR friends in MD these past few months and have had the opportunity to visit dear friends from long ago.  Best of all, Ive spent time with my sister and brother and their families which is precious. 

All I know at this point is that I’ll be at the training center in Querétaro for 10 weeks and after that I’ll be working with a counterpart in a university in a rural community where English instruction and enrichment is needed. I’ll be living with a host family for the first 6 months of my service.  Lots to look forward to and lots to learn and share.  Im hoping that in addition to teaching English, I can get pickleball going at the school or in the community or both.  I’ve been given two nets and lots of pb related goodies to use and give as prizes.  Even though my pb leaves much to be desired,  I can refer them to You Tube where they can learn a lot.

More later….
