Finally, a post

After four weeks and a quagmire of grad school applications, I leave my first post. 

Living down here has been a pretty good time. Nice weather, little old Amish ladies cooking all of my meals, morning prayer sessions, and manual labor. Furthermore, I get to spend my days outside, either at the site or the beach. Every once in a while the religious undertones can be a little overwhelming but generally the all around positive attitude and honesty of this place is somewhat of a breath of fresh air.

We've come across some pretty interesting people as well, some good, some bad, all entertaining. From wholesome geriatrics, to drunken shrimpers, to obnoxious Lutherans, it seems that we are meeting a very random and ridiculous ggroup. Some of these people will be highlighted in posts to come. By the end of this I will have met every one from Charles City , Iowa and Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The Amish and Mennonites are some crazy entertaining folk. It'll be interesting to see how we make it through this.

That's all I'm saying
