I finally started a blog to chronicle my adventures in Mali. I figured that this would be easier and more inclusive than doing a mass email. For those who do not know, I will be leaving Tuesday morning for Philadelphia to begin my Peace Corps experience. I will spend 2 days with everyone else going to Mali (I have no idea how many people, but probably at least 70) doing orientation stuff and getting shots. Then, I will be spending about 3 months doing intensive language, technical, and health and safety training. For most of this time, I will be living in a village with a Malian family. I have no idea when I will have internet or phone access during this time, but I will try and update when I can. For now, here is an address where I can receive letters and packages:
Elise Keller (PCV)
Peace Corps
B.P. 85 Bamako
Mali
The Peace Corps office recommends sending padded envelopes in lieu of boxes when possible. The postal system in Mali is not nearly as efficient as the one in the U.S., but any mail is greatly appreciated and I will certainly try and respond to anyone who writes. I don't have a lot of people's addresses right now, especially since many of you have just graduated and are still settling in, but if you want something from me, please email me your address. For emails now and in the future please use elisemk@gmail.com.

Okay so I tried to leave a comment but apparently I only previewed it.
Anyway, it said I'm thinking of you. And also, Lindsay Lohan just got arrested today and she had coke and she was drunk and suspended license...basically she could spend six years in jail. I hope not because who would I follow then?
Okay the real reason I'm online is to make my Japan blog. bye!!
