That's right, greetings from Vienna! Our group is sitting on the floor at the Vienna airport during our five hour layover, forming a semicircle of Americans on laptops taking advantage of the free wi-fi. The trip here went relatively smoothly, though we had to put bags in the aisle of our tour bus to the airport because we had more baggage than the luggage compartment could handle. We have a 1.5 hour flight from Vienna to Skopje, the capital of Macedonia, getting us in about 3:30 pm.
I think there are 37 people in my group, nicknamed MAK 14 (14th group in Macedonia). There are folks as young as 22 and as old as 70-something. At yesterday's staging, we spent time starting to get to know one another and go over basic Peace Corps policies and goals. In the evening, I got to have one last spicy Indian meal and mango lassi. I also got in one final run in DC and a bagel breakfast. Other than being sleep deprived right now, I'm feeling good and am excited to get to Macedonia!
