I went to a girls conference for female empowerment and gender equality this weekend (a great lead in to Valentine’s Day, right?) with two girls from my sex ed group, and all the other volunteers were asking me what I’m doing after I finish my Peace Corps service in May. I told everyone how I would be going to Haiti to spend the summer with my dear David Garfunkel before heading to DC to grad school (SDQ, si dios quiere, God willing) in the fall. David just moved to a new apartment with a friend and co-worker and posted some pictures on his blog. So today I got to see where I will be living post Peace Corps! Check it out!
