Welcome

Welcome and thank you for embarking on this adventure with me. I have been invited to serve as a Peace Corps volunteer in the Dominican Republic in the area of Community Economic Development. Through this blog I will keep you abreast of all situations, happenings and what-have-you's I encounter. I will do my best to keep this updated and interesting for friends, family, or any random onlookers to enjoy.

This is my second attempt at a blog. The one I attempted while in Spain kind of got away from me.  Guess my heart just wasn't in it, or maybe I was...um...working too much. I looked into Wordpress.org to start a blog, you know, because they have more templates and design options for my excessive need to express myself, but as it turns out you need a very basic level of know-how in website creation, which I am now painfully aware that I sorely lack.  Luckily Google makes it easy enough for a monkey to accomplish.

I have been contemplating just how much detailed personal disclosure of my life on this trip is appropriate and I have concluded that full, unabridged, uncensored, horrible, awful, shocking, disgusting, radical truthfulness is the best way to go (otherwise it wouldn't be interesting at all would it?)  So tag along and experience all the adventures and hijinks I may find myself in on this 27 month ride - I will try to keep it as accurate, humorous and ridiculous as possible.
