Survived Week 1!

Here is a picture of all the volunteers from last year and this year! Those guys spent their last week in country getting us acclamated and minimizing our running around like chickens with their heads cut off (success?), which community mates have verified actually happens. Will confirm after first chicken slaughter. Anywho, they wee unbelievably helpful and went home this morning so we are on our own.

We spent yesterday at a beach house owned by Pat and Sonia, the women who run Nuevo Mundo, which is one of our placements. Playas is about a 2 hour ride and it was gorgeous there- we spent the day playing in the waves and got to play some soccer and do some running (the last 2 were not a joke). Also, the sand dollars are ginormous, so cool, so I will try to bring home a bunch if I don´t swash them in my suitcase.

Today I headed out to Monte Sinai, the site of our third and newest house, and cleaned up the place where the second year volunteers lived and brought a bunch of furniture to the new house. It´s almost finished and it looks great- bright and airy- seeing it made us so excited to move into our place at the end of this week! Parents, hope Chappy was great today I will definitely miss the Vineyard this week as I am cleaning houses and picking a work site but things here are great so far! Happy Sunday everyone!
