Since ive gotten to the city its been all go... first day of work was welcoming the new group and since then its been visiting Volunteers, traveling all over the country and making sure the Community Health Sector Volunteers are happy and successful. Any down time, i have been going to the embassy gym, hanging out with the other coordinators or going back to my site to visit.
I have been living in a TINY one bedroom place since February and i just want to be able to have more room to move around. So POR FIN (finally) i am moving into a little house that has a living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. a nice little patio and only a ten min walk away from Peace Corps Office.
Everything is going well. Working well with my boss and having a great time learning how to work in a developing organization. Peace Corps is such a great organization, that i am honored to work with.
The city life has been nice, but i am not running around eating out all the time, or going to the movies or anything like that. I barely make it by each month on the stipend that i get. But i did not come here to live a life of luxury or to spend money. It is nice every once and a while to go out and have a nice meal. Thank goodness my boss and one of the coordinators both love and know good food. So i have two people i can splurge a little with a enjoy a good meal and good company with.
Traveling with my boss can be really tiring since we have to sometimes go as far as 4 hours in a car into the countryside to visit and spend the night in the near by city. The following day wake up and visit another Volunteer and do it all over again. My boss and I have a good time in the car though listening to music and chatting about everything... and i appreciate that she speaks both Spanish and English :)
From this moment until i leave to go to London i will be settling into my new place. Continuing traveling around Paraguay visiting the reminder of our Volunteers, attending a HIV/AIDS workshop, and preparing to to leave Paraguay for a month of well deserved vacation.
Until next time :)
