six days spent in the desert attending all-day trainings, syncing our government issued blackberrys and laptops, wearing khakis with our heat absorbing steel-toed boots, and receiving several forms of photo ID. it's been an exciting, different, tiresome, thrilling, deserty time full of anticipation for the next eight months. we've been getting general FEMA training the past few days and beginning tomorrow will be attending all-day trainings for our FEMA specific jobs.
today we had our first day off in a while and spent it bonding with the stalactites and stalagmites of carlsbad caverns in southern new mexico. it was the hottest day we've had since being here and it was nice to escape from the heat via a 750 foot descent below the earth. on our way back home, we stopped in a lovely little town for drive-through ice cream. who knew a bat cave and an ice cream shop on the side of the road could serve as the perfect day off combo.
