I Feel Home…

When I am here with some of my very best friends sharing my experiences with them, having a cultural exchange, and learning so much about what they’re doing back in the states. Not only that, but they brought me the Christmas I never had this year. Can Openers, Football, Food, Clothes, Gameboy, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, Books, and even a 6 pack of Coors Light. To say the least, I was and am very delighted. I also received quite the care package/s from the Irelands whom are truly my family in all senses. My mother Sent me a package and it made me smile for days as she put in there only what she would and that is why I love her.

So far We have been able to meet all but a few volunteers and Teach them how to dance Bachata, Merengue, and Salsa. Two nights of dancing in the capital were followed by a trip up to an ecotourism project, called 27 Waterfalls, where we slid and jumped down every single one of them. It was one of my favorite things I have done here thus far. Right now We are in my site after a day of traveling across the entire country and talking with my community and will be visiting the Peanut butter enterprise and staying/camping with Jay Thrasher, my crazy good friend whom lives in the poorest area of the country with me, and therefore is my Hermano or life. Cause it ain’t easy, but that’s why its interesting,…no?

We will be headed to the beach in the south and relaxing in a few days and hopefully making a nice end to our time together. I am very thankful for all of you. Thankful for the opportunity.

Peace and Love.
