busy, busy, busy

Fewh! It's been four weeks since the last time I used a computer. I've become very anti-internet but unfortunately Peace Corps always sends a million e-mails and it's reporting time so I've been forced to do some computer work. Fortunately I'm at a friend's house who has internet! Just like back home.

Recently I've been busy helping out with group 63 training. They are a great group and it's nice to have a break from site. Last week I was in Cocle for TEA Technical Week. They taught in the school, worked on a recycling project and helped update a brochure and webpage. At first I didn't think it would be much of a vacation, but after showering the volunteer whose house I was staying at asked if I wanted to use her hair dryer and I knew it would be an alright week. Yesterday we had our regional meeting. The meeting itself wasn't anything too exciting but it's always fun to get together with other volunteers an last night we went dancing so that was a good time. Today I'm getting in my much needed computer time and tomorrow I'll head back to site.

In site I'm keeping busy teaching my English class- which is going well, and as always working with the ladies. We recently finished getting four stamps made which we will use as our price tag. Now I'm starting to write up a budget and project proposal for the much needed fix-up of the restaurant and cabin. The weather is perfect. Sunny for the most part during the days and raining at night.

Recent saying I've become fond of saying: "Oh, Panama..."
