I'm back from my East Coast Peacie trip. All is well, and my friends are still as wonderful in the English-speaking world as they were in our Spanish-speaking one. I am incredibly happy and satisfied to think of them living out their bright lives so far away from me, and yet only a phone call or email away. I love them, and I missed them an incredible amount.

However, now that I have visited some of my Peace Corps friends, the goal is to visit them all. The large bulk of them will be returning from Nicaragua at the end of October (or as long as it takes them to travel home by land) and I am already looking forward to hugging reunions and lots of conversations like, so what IS your favorite band? and You don't like seafood? I never knew that you didn't like seafood-- and all the other conversations that just didn't come up, even though we all share an incredible sort of indestrucible and forever bond.

So, now that I am home, I've been incredibly busy. I am going to work in a few minutes, actually, and I will be working at the Mill City Museum site on the Mississippi River. Did I mention that I love my new job? Working for the Minneapolis Park Service with little inner city kids is as fufilling and amazing as you could imagine-- those of you who like that sort of thing, that is. If I could do this for the rest of my life, and make a living doing it, I would. I just have to figure out how to do that, now. :)

p.s. I have new pictures (mostly of my friends' dogs) of my Peacie Adventure out to the East Coast on my flickr photo site.
