So it's begun. I got into Philadelphia late last night. Today we start orientation around noon, so I will try and run around to a couple historical places beforehand. Luckily our hotel is in the historic district, so there are a bunch of important places around: liberty bell, constitution center,independence hall, etc. We'll see how much I can comfortably get in before lunch.
Tomorrow we check out of the hotel and catch our flight out of JFK at 11am, putting us in Lesotho sometime Friday. This whole thing still feels pretty surreal, but its starting to come together and I suspect it will really hit home when I see the continent of Africa out my plane window!
So excited for you to start on this adventure! It was hard to say goodbye and we already miss you, but know you have a lot to share with your new community and a lot to learn that life here cannot teach you.
