Swearing In as an Official PCV

Th super official oath that was given by the Ambassador of the US to Ecuador.

Her house, where we got to have the ceremony and celebrate with bagels.

My two amazing friends from training. I will miss them everyday!

My Spanish training class, MVP's of the Youth and Families Program.

I have made it to my site...it is my official first day of PC service. I took my oath and promised to myself that I would give all I could to my new community.

Last night I travelled 9 hours on an overnight coach bus with my 150 pounds of stuff. I made it safely, only forgetting my med kit in the bus. Replaceable. What's important is that I am here, in my awesome room, safe and sound. Unpacking has begun. You can not even imagine how excited I am to get into a schedule and unpack everything I own!
