First post.

I set this blog up for two reasons. 1. So I am forced to keep a journal of what I am doing/experiencing 2. So everyone I care about at home is able to hear about what I'm doing and the stories I have right from the source. So now I just have to hope I have electricity and regular internet connection once I'm in El Salvador.

I leave February 2nd for Washington and February 3rd for El Salvador. Scary!
