Hello Grenada!

Just to catch you up...I joined the Peace Corps! I flew into Grenada this morning and found out I'll be living in the capital of St. George's for the next 2 years, which is a beautiful harbor town set against the lush hills on the Caribbean side of the island. I was anticipating getting placed way out in the sticks, having the typical "Peace Corps experience" and washing my laundry in the river, but I'm just as happy to be in town because of all the opportunities and organizations there are to work with. As someone told me, community development is needed at every level, no matter how stable things may appear on the surface. So I'm excited to see where I can get involved. The challenge will be not diving in head first...they told us to take it easy the first 3 months and focus on building relationships and slowly integrating...or "liming with a purpose."
