Last day as a PCV

Today is the last day! As of now sitting in my hostel I have 6.5 hours left as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Bulgaria.

I don't know how or what I'm really feeling still. I left Dren in the fog- well more ways then one. The past 3 days have been super fast paced and full of PCVs time, paperwork, mailing, repacking, more repacking, and sorting. So time has been super busy and full and no time to really process which has been nice. That can be for all the train hours we have ahead.
Which brings me to the morning. We are getting a train to Romania where we will start our Europe trip for the next 3 days. I will update as much as I can with some pictures.


As of now I need to go hang out the last hours before we all head all over the world....more later when it hits me all.

Its also perfect timing since in the morning the 14th, my last day is the same day 50 years ago JFK started this all.....

Fifty Years ago, on October 14, 1960, then-Sen. John F. Kennedy spoke to a gathering of students at the University of Michigan who were waiting for hours to hear the presidential candidate speak in Ann Arbor.  On the steps of the University of Michigan Student Union, President Kennedy challenged students to serve their country in the cause of peace by living and working in developing countries, an idea that inspired the creation of the Peace Corps.  Please take a moment to hear audio from that historic day and watch a very powerful slideshow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydTaoZ9JSGk about this first year milestone.
