Periodically I will present updates on this website from my dear friend Leslie, a great Woman of the World, who is now in the Peace Corps and stationed in the country of Jordan. Here's is her first update:

"Well I have made it to Jordan!!! I can not believe that I am here. It is so amazing. You look out your window and see the desert. We are out side the capital and just beginning to be introduced to life here. I feel quite at home don't ask why but I am very relaxed about the whole thing. We began our Arabic classes today and started cultural education. It is all so exciting. I have meet some really cool people and things seem pretty good. I will keep you all updated as things progress."
