We love Kayak!!

I thought I would start this entry with the words of our fellow intern Joel, the French Canadian, who was expressing his enthusiasm by commanding us all to yell "We love Kayak!!!" Ahh the new friends I am making. I thought I would take this opportunity to tell you a little bit more about each of them, in their own words! We all took the chance to create this list of comments about each of us, yes some of them are inside jokes, but if you ever get to meet any of them it would all make sense!!! So here's the breakdown...6 of us are CIDA interns with six month posting, 1 corporate intern with six month posting, 3 six month volunteers, and one lone 2 month volunteer (he's gonna want to stay longer!!!) So that is 11 of us.


some phrases to describe each intern...so far:

John "Wilson": Mongolia to herd horses...Hardy Boy...quick dry...mefloquine mondays...
Laura: gives you the straight goods...sustainability...lacking internal compass...nice bum
