I saw your blog on our parents RIM family site. I couldn't believe it when I figured out you were from Lex KY. My daughter is just finishing up her first year in Mauritania!! Who would have thought there would be 2 girls from Lexington in Mauritania! I would be happy to answer any questions you or your family might have. We've learned a lot. You can e-mail me if you wish....sumac3@windstream.net
ReplyDeleteHi Amy,
ReplyDeleteI'm Bobbi, the secretary from United Presbyterian. Your mom sent us your blog address, so I am including it in the Sunday bulletin and the June newsletter. We'll all be watching your adventures!
My 16 year old daughter wants to join the Peace Corp when she graduates college - and she was thrilled to hear you would be teaching English. This is what she wants to do, so she will also be following your adventures.
Have a great and safe time!

Hi Amy, what an interesting blog. I have learned so much just reading your site. Your are an inspiration to us all. As a Philly native let me suggest don't forget a cheese steak while you are in town. Pats steaks in south philly is my favorite, open 24 hours a day!
