Hey all,well, I had my spanish interview last Firday. Aparently it went really well. I jumped up three levels, and now am at intermediate low. I just have to pass one more level to be able to go to my site. So it shouldnt really be a problem. Though I still have to study my butt off in order to understand anything anyone says. Last weekend was pretty slow. I didnt go to any fiestas. Though I did go to Lima for Peace Corps lessons at a University. They had...

The only thing to report, really, is that we saw the ambassador of Peru today. He talked alot about his experiences, what he likes and dislikes about the country, ...

Hey everyone,This weekend was pretty exciting. On Saturday, the WatSan people made worm composting bins. I know that sounds stupid, but instead of watching another power point presentation, we mixed concrete and set the base for a large composting bin and made wood frames for smaller, hanging composting bins. I enjoyed it. It was great to talk with the other WatSan people as well, and find out more about them. After, I ate lunch at home, and climbed the loca...
