Countdown

The final days of my summer in Maine are here. I feel like I have been having a lot of fun and getting to see a lot of people. This past week I spent time in Arrowhead on an island camping with Sam, Jess and some of Jess' friends for her birthday. It was a lot of fun! Then I got to hang out with Derrick and his friends. I have worked quite a bit the past few days which has also kept me busy.

Last week I helped Grampa to scan a lot of pictures. Mom even got to help out a lot and it was really fun to see old family photos from as far back as the 19-teens. I also received the solar panel and the battery I ordered in the mail.

My staging kit in the mail! I will be going to Washington, D.C. on July 23rd. I will fly from Portland at 9 am and registration is at 2pm. After two days of administrative stuff and shots we will all be flying out to Jo-burg and then to Lusaka. I was talk to Kaitlin today about packing and stuff and it is really settling in how soon I am leaving! I really need to make some progress on packing up and getting things ready for me to leave for two-years...



Finally I am including a picture from one of my Picasa web album friends: Thane. It is a picture he took while he was in Zambia of a village farm house. It must of been the dry season cuz it looks pretty brown.
