The Pony Express

Start writing letters NOW!  My address during training is:

Kate Glantz, PCV

Peace Corps Training Site

PO Box 9123

Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

On average it will take about a month for letters to reach me.  Once I'm at my official site (end of August), I will have a new mailing address.  It is encouraged to hold off on sending packages until I am settled in at my site.  And get this... packages sent via surface mail can take 3-6 months to reach Tanzania!  When sent via air the time is about 3-8 weeks. 

Now that everyone is aware Tanzania's postal system bears striking resemblance to the Pony Express, you have no excuse.  Get out your writing utensils and stationary (or buy them) and try your hardest to remember how to print.  I'm not asking for cursive, calligraphy, or even a vibrant gel pen.  Just a sassy little note from the bottom of your heart.  :)  Gossip and secrets are encouraged.  After all, who am I going to tell? 

Let me be the cool kid at summer camp who has the best friends in the world and gets all the greatest letters.  

Lots of love to everyone.  

Your little adventurer,
