Some of the biggest moments in Peace Corps are arriving in country, Swearing in (completion of training and being an official volunteer), completed first year and Close of Service (COS). Last week I had my COS conference. Now a really cool thing about this conference is they put you up at a very nice hotel in Benin (top of the line) you get good food all the time, it's a great location ours was at Hotel du Lac in Cotonou. At the conference we learned about re-intergrating into American culture, medical information and how to get treatment for problems that arose during your service, and how to describe your Peace Corps expirence to potential employers. All important and useful information. Also it is the last time that we will all be together as a group. Never again will we all be together. A bittersweet moment. We all made it together, but now our time is coming to a close. It's been a great two years, wouldn't have been the same without you all, it's been a blast!

I was there for the swear in and saw you at one of your first days at post. Since then I've had the joy of following your blog. You have done a wonderful job and you should be SO proud. Now get that tooth fixed and enjoy Camp Success and get yourself HOME!!!
Stay strong, Mark Loehrke (Carly's dad)
