And she's out.

Thoughts from back on Nov. 2: We left today. It has been a whirlwind over the last few days and I'm very, very tired. I'm finished with Peace Corps! I'm missing so many people in Rinconada and I'm sad to leave all of them but I'm also feeling very accomplished. I was so hesitant to do Peace Corps in Peru when they told me we would have to live with host families and it certainly had it's ups and downs but now that I'm leaving I'm so happy to have Dora and Martin and their family as friends. I will miss Dora so, so much. I do feel like I've gained a sister.

I think it's so wonderful to have the opportunity to help people,to experience the culture and people,and the fullfilment it must bring. I'm jealous! I've always wanted to do that. I would love to keep in contact my e-mail is pdxjenna2007@yahoo.com
