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 >

Oh dear. Still house-hunting. I walk through the town asking around for an empty (and livable!!) house. There are so many empty houses, but the owners do not rent them, either they live in the capitol and come back for vacation or they are just too afraid ... Read more >

March has come and gone. Where do I start? There is so much to tell that I hope I can capture it all in a few lines. February ended with independence day, which is when all the real costumes and masks came out. It sort of reminded of Halloween. The ... Read more >

I was hoping to move into this cute little orange house near the beach once the other volunteer moved out, but now it looks as if I may be out of luck. The owner is looking into selling it, and I was too confident into thinking that I could easily take ... Read more >

This last week was spent on pigging out. So much food. No wonder people keep pointing out my gaining weight. On Sunday there was a xmas party with the Junta de Vecinos (neighborhood group) where I overloaded on food, while the others danced to classical ... Read more >

Added some new pictures of my walk around town. I managed to pull out one of my other brothers out of the house to walk with me. It was a miracle, since he hates to leave the house. He is attached to his playstation. Reminds me of someone back home...... Read more >

Saturday’s fundraising trip out to the laguna was successful. It started off to a rocky start, as the bus hadn’t arrived by 8:30 as planned to take the members and their guests out to the laguna, and we couldn’t reach the driver. He has no cell phone ... Read more >

Somehow I agreed to

Lucky me. I am in the capitol and so I have been able to upload a few more pictures. Not too many, but its better than nothing. Most of them are of either my new home, or my gua-gua ride into my little pueblo.

The other
