Hello everyone from the Southern Hemisphere! I have just hopped into an internet cafe for a few minutes to write a quick update. My group of 15 and I arrived on Wednesday morning at 5am after a 10 hour flight from LA and were greeted by the present Volunteers and the staff in a hot sweaty airport. We checked into a hotel and immediately went to an Ava ceremony given by some of the Samoan staff. I understood a little (none) but it was fun all the same and we got to drink some Ava (Kava) which is quite nice. Now we are beginning more intense language training with some very good and patient teachers and exploring the capital of Apia. The weather is a constant 84 degrees with humidity hovering around 75% making the combined tempurature feel like 100 degrees but the good news is that this is the winter and the humidity will only get worse... Hopefully I'll be used to it come November. Well guys and girls more to come when I have more to say.
