I just wanted to let everyone know that I am here. I would have updated you sooner but it's been a whirlwind experience. Yesterday we worked on paperwork for most of the day and had an ice cream social last night. We are staying in a dorm that has two bunk beds and I am rooming with the other three new teachers from Kipnuk. So far everyone is super nice and super helpful. Today was our first day of training and we got a lot of introductions and learned how to find out what our curriculum is. Tonight Jenny (my tentative roommate), Ken (a new teacher in another village), and I walked to AC to get fishing licenses for tomorrow's fishing trip. Tomorrow, I think we are going to get a crash-course in the language and other cultural experiences including tasting the local cuisine. That's all I have for now so I'll close with some pictures.
This is on the plane leaving Pittsburgh.
