The hours are counting down to our overnight flight to Paris, concluding our short time here in Philadelphia. We just proudly engulfed a last Philly Cheese Steak. The new Peace Corps crew for Togo runs thirty-one deep, all bright and brimming young men and women. There’s a great representation of strengths and diversity within our group; engineers, future doctors, lawyers, etc. We could certainly see our fellow peeps here becoming good friends for many years to come. Admittedly, it has been a great relief to share our stories of anxiety and excitement with our training group. Thus far, we’ve been extremely pleased with the conducive environment for learning set up at our Pre-Stage Training.
In short, everything is peachy. For now, we’re off to the Homeland. Here is our address for the next months.

This blog will, to the best of our abilities, cover the trials and tribulations of Peace Corps Service in Togo. The opinions put forth here are our own. In no way do they reflect those of the Peace Corps.

This is a great website! It will be so nice to see pictures and know what you are doing. Alex and Caden are excited to send you mail. I can't wait to hear about Africa! Good Luck! Love You- Josh, Lindsay, Alex & Caden
It must be so exciting to be finally on your way after all of your wondering and waiting. It sounds like you have a great group of cohorts to share in your adventure. We will soon be sending letters from the Middle School students.

Dear Trace and Katrina,
Wow, you are finally on your way. I've been looking at pictures of Lome- it must be exciting to see it in person. Hope your experience continues to be "peachy" and ends up being a great experience in many ways for both of you. I'm looking forward to hearing about your adventures.
Love, Shawn
Trace and Katrina-
Mary and Dale are here in Summit Co. this weekend. We read your blog and, of course, we are all crying. So happy that it sounds like you have a good group of people with you. We are thinking of you guys always.
Have fun and take care-
Love-Shannon (and Mary and Dale)
Go get 'em guys! You both have so much to offer as well as so much time to learn! jane
We are so happy to hear that you both seem to be doing so well. When you return you need to think of writing a book about your adventures-you both verbalize so well that we feel like we are there with you! I hope you are keeping a journal. The scenery sounds beautiful. Enjoy your amenities while you have them-doesnt sound like they will last.
We miss you and will keep watching for updates.
Love, Mary, Tex & Dale
Trace and Katrina,
I enjoy reading your blog updates and hearing about life in Togo. Keep them coming. If you can post some pictures on the web it would be great to see a little bit of Togo and their people.
