Last Wednesday marked a year for being in my site. No big celebrations, just mentioned to my host family that I’ve known them now officially for a whole year. Then I bought my stuff in their colmado and I lugged all of it back to my house. Thankfully ... Read more >

Funny how it took me five months to finally post pictures of my house, (nicely decorating it with some family pictures) and now within a month I am moving. I hate to leave this house, despite the lack of water and the (sometimes, depending on the heat) ... Read more >

I have finally added more pictures....it is nice to have higher speed internet. Lately the internet has been so bad, the rain messes with the signal, the luz messes with the computers, basically the connection usually s-u-c-k-s. Anyways, I loaded a ... Read more >

I heard the thunder before I left my house,
but knowing I had to do a few things in town, I packed up my umbrella and took

Let me just send out one complaint.It is HOT and HUMID right now. I don´t know why I even bother with my bucket baths, when I am quickly sweating soon after. Just sitting around makes me sweaty. If only the luz was on all the time, then I would just ... Read more >

The last two weeks have been surreal, but nice. My two wacky cousins -Lety and Becky- came to wisk me away from work and into the beach life. I never want to leave it. I have not only been blessed with their company, but had full use of running water, ... Read more >

This was my day yesterday.....I woke up at around 6, the light pouring into my room, but really waited until 6:30 to get up and try and beat the rush for the bathroom. There are 9 of us, and one bathroom, mostly boys, so you can imagine. It was pretty ... Read more >
