Seven weeks left in America

As I'm sitting my bedroom listen to the rain fall I realize that soon (very soon... seven weeks) I won't be hearing that. I am leaving for the most arid country in the world. A girl who loves taking walks in the pouring rain is going to have to find joy in 120 degree weather. Most of Turkmenistan is black sand desert and gets REALLY hot in July and August. What am I going to pack to stay modest and be cool during those hot months. I have been shopping at lot lately getting what I need to make it through the next few years. I only have three more weeks of work and then four weeks of preparing for my big adventure.

What I am most excited about my next two+ years...

Working with amazing people and sharing my knowledge of health education
Experiencing a new culture
The food!!
Learning a new language (or two)
