Here are a couple of amusing sayings about PCVs:
A pessimist sees a glass of water and says, “that glass is half empty.”
An optimist sees a glass of water and says, “that glass is half full.”
A Peace Corps Volunteer sees a glass of water and says, “I could take a bath in that!”
A Peace Corps Volunteer in South America returns politically charged.
A Peace Corps Volunteer in Southeast Asia returns spiritually enlightened.
A Peace Corps Volunteer in Africa returns drunk and laughing!
It’s better to send in the Peace Corps than the Marine Corps. - Ted Kennedy
In other news, it looks like I am heading off to Hell’s Gate National Park tomorrow with a couple of newly-friended PCVs from Uganda. Should be fun!

Lol, let us not forget the following:
When a fly lands in the beer of a Brit, the Brit will throw out the beer and get another.
When a fly lands in the beer of an American, the American will scoop out the fly and finish the beer.
When a fly lands in the beer of a Peace Corps Volunteer, the volunteer drinks the beer with the fly as Peace Corps Volunteers do not waste even a single drop of beer.
