It's Official

Today I made my reservations to leave for Peru. First, my mom and I will go to Washington DC for a few days, we leave June 5th from Portland. On June 10th, I'll have a one day orientation in Arlington, Virginia, and on the 11th I will fly with my group to Lima for training. As a west coaster who always preferred leaving the country to seeing it, going to the nation's capital will be a first. My feelings are that it will be eye opening and bring awareness to what exactly I'm representing when I say "soy gringa."
