From the Author: checked in safely

Suzanne and I arrived in Philadelphia and got checked in safely. We start staging tomorrow.

Below is a paragraph that summarizes where we will be starting Thursday, the 24th, 2014.

Upon arrival at O.R. Tabo International Airport in Johnannesburgh, you will be driven for approximately 3 hours to Lowveld College of Agricultural ( Marapyane Campus) in Marapyane, Mpumalanga Province. You will stay in a dormitory, which is basic by U.S. standards, and spend the first week or so at a center being oriented to Peace Corps and South Africa. Thereafter you will go on site to current serving PCV's for a period of 3-4 days, after site visit you will then be welcomed into the home of a South African family who will be your host until the end of March2014 when you will be sworn in as a Peace Corps Volunteer and be posted to your community of service.

There is a winter storm approaching and we are safe and warm in the hotel room awaiting tomorrow to start the next adventure.

Marty and Suzanne
