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
off. The clouds were already starting to roll in and the sky to darken. I
rushed through town, did my errands, ... Read more >

One year in country, and what a year it has been. Looking back, I would´nt change any of the experiences, no matter how hard or frustrating it has been. Sometimes I feel as if this trip has aged me 5 years. Just one year and three more months to go - ... Read more >

Crazy stormy night last night. Lightning lit up the sky so bright it felt as if it was coming into my house, and thunder so loud it sounded as if it was right above my head. Of course, there was no luz and so it made my Thursday night sitting in the dark ... Read more >

Chisme. I need to back track a couple of months on my chisme.....I did find a place to live, and so my new two bedroom house and indoor bathroom is about a 10-15 walk outside of the middle of town, but I love my barrio. Not many people do – when I tell ... Read more >

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 >

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 >

It has been a busy month. I am working on my organizational / community diagnostic which I have to present early next month. I am already nervous just thinking about it. The report / presentation has to be in Spanish, to my fellow volunteers. It will ... 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 >
