The Beginning

Trutnov, Czech Republic. It seems like a world away. I applied for a Rotary Exchange in October of 2005, and knew I was accepted into the program in mid December. About the last week of January, I was informed that I was going to Trutnov. Now I have around four months to learn the language. Wow, scary. I have small notecards appearing around my house, labeling everything I can see, from toothbrush to lunch meat. The best part is, I'm meeting all sorts of wonderful people, even before I go. Everyone seems very supportive and excited. The blog will be pretty bare until I leave (August or September), but then the explosion of entries and pictures will occur (I hope).
