Preparation

I still have 1 month and 13 days until I begin this adventure but people have been asking if I was going to do a blog. Now I am not guaranteeing that this will be a regular occurrence, or that I will even update this again. I have no idea what my internet access will be like. I figured, though, you have to start at some where. So here is my attempt. This is where I will try and blog.

People have also been asking if I know my address, which I do, at least for the first few months that I am there. It is:

Ellen Taetzsch/PCT
Peace Corps
P.O. Box 50707
Lusaka, Zambia

Beware that it takes a while for things to get there so don't be too worried if I haven't received anything in a month. But please mail me. Also send me your email addresses so if I send an email out then I can send it to you as well.

Also rumor has it that things sent to PCVs (Peace Corps Volunteers) are tax deductible. I am not exactly sure how to check that out, so one of you smart accounting people will have to confirm or deny this.
