"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime." - Mark Twain, Innocents Abroad

The Day I Got My Letter

I sent this picture to my family to announce my selection for the first ever Toyota International Teacher Program to South Africa.  I was SO excited!  That was almost four months ago.

Now I'm all packed, and tomorrow I begin my journey. First stop:  Washington, DC.
