We're going to Botswana in September as Peace Corps Volunteers. Right now it's exciting and overwhelming. We think it is a privilege to serve in this way. For Carol, it's the culmination of a dream she had more than forty years ago. For John, it's the second time around, the first having been in Panama from 1967 to 1969. We've wanted to go to Africa for a long time. And from everything we've heard so far (although, really, it isn't much) Botswana will be a wonderful place to live and work. We'll try to keep up a blog as things develop. For now, it's taking care of lots of details, like selling our cars and storing our furniture. Stay tuned
