Call from Corie on Wed. Nov. 18

Got a call from Corie this morning to tell me she arrived in Mad just fine, although a day later than everybody else, she said it was pretty easy to catch up. She was using a friend's Nokia phone and said she was hoping to buy her own maybe next Tuesday. The flight was fine and all her baggage arrived OK. She was also feeling much better and I guess the extra sleep did her good. She's very excited about her site as one of the supervisors told her she was placed at that site for her artistic abilities. They are developing some eco-tourism cabins at that site and would like her help with developing brochures and signage. She also said that she was a little concerned about culture-shock due to her 8 months in the USA, but as soon as she landed in Mad, she felt as if she were 'home'. She also said the PC doctor gave her some meds and also an H1N1 vaccine. It was great talking to her and finding out she was healthier than when she left. Hopefully she can call again next week.
