Today is the first official day of this whole Peace Corps thing. And as it is in everything government, sure to be filled with endless amounts of paperwork. I arrived in Philadelphia yesterday with no problems and arrived at the Cherry Hill Crowne Plaza safely.
Last night I went out with my friend Brendan from high school. He had joined the Coast Guard Academy but did not get a commission due to some eye problem. He now works for Pat Murphy the Congressman here in Philadelphia. According to his snazzy card, he is the Military and Veterans Affairs Director. According to his stories, he has to let the cleaning crew in on Thursdays.
So, we went out for the big Philadelphia 4th of July celebration. No better place to be on America's birthday than
That's about it for now. I have about 4 hours until check-in with the Peace Corps. My roommate David has left to go see a friend, so I'm kinda stuck in my room for a few hours. Philadelphia is too far to away and the only stuff to do is a few car-less miles away. That's okay. The hotel is very nice. I will update soon. Only a couple days left in country! Uh-oh.
