Hi Everyone! This blog is primarily aimed at my TBS students, who I already miss very much. I want to be able to keep them updated, and yes, in the not too distant future I'll figure out how to post pictures. I also LOVE all the homework and writing that you're sending my way. My internet availability is not too great, so I may take one or two weeks to respond, but I will respond and I am truly relishing reading your work. Feel free to post on the blog (or not) and email me whenever you'd like (or not)!
This was the mass email I sent out yesterday,
It´s our second day here and we´ve stopped in at an internet cafe during our lovely walk exploring the ins and outs of this amazing mountain town. It´s kind of awesome to feel like I´m ¨back¨in the days of traveling through Africa (I want to put a semi colon here but can not figure out the punctuation on this computer. I am such a gringa right now!) Instead of compulsively checking my iPhone every 20 minutes, I am back to checking email every three days or so. Insert smiley face. We had a bit of culture shock last night when we realized that in the span of two weeks we moved out of our Berkeley home, visited many friends and family on the East Coast, and then suddenly ended up in a Central American jungle. It´s been a true blur: I might be in a state of mild shock.....Insert another smiley face. We´ve found (and Rob has killed) five scorpions so far, and there is a small bat living in one of our showers. Fortunately, there is another shower so we have a few days to figure out what to do about our little friend. We also watched a tarantula thoughtfully explore the front porch last night. However, we are very excited to become part of a new culture and community, if only for three months. The house is wonderful, there is nothing better than going to sleep with the sounds of the jungle literally outside our bedroom. And, we can not walk five steps in this town without meeting another super nice and helpful person. It is pretty astonishing here: we are literally steps from several famously diverse bio reserves and many hiking trails. I am very excited to explore the jungle via foot, horseback, and zip line. Insert final smiley face.
