Lately

Ok everyone. So I havn´t been posting much lately and I have never even posted a picture. So here are a few in no particular order.


This is the view from my office window.

This is me and Mohammed at a hot spring.

This is Jose "aka Tio" and Mohammed at the same hot spring.

This is a crappy view of the sierra. Man it sucks here.

This is me doing my interviews in my community.

Cayambe.

The Beach.
Yeah, so everything has been pretty awesome lately. I go to work everyday and talk in spanish to people. Some days are better than others, but everday is memorable. Lately I have been interviewing people in my town about environmental education. Peace Corps rocks and makes us interview the community. In most cases this is a good integration tool, but my city hast about 35,000 people in it. So The people I get to know real well are the people at the office. Anyway, I have been living in an old monestary that has been converted into an office with a host family. It is very interesting, but I am enjoying the experience. ¿Que mas? Oh, I can eat fried shrimp dinners in my town for $3.50. Expensive, i know. It is pretty sweet. I think I am about to go to the community landfill. This should also be interesting, because I have no idea what to expect. Wow, I worked in an office in the states and dealt with waste management issues. Now I work in an office in Ecuador and will undoubtedly be working in waste management. haha. Funny how things work out. I am also gonna be doing a reforestation project near the river in my community in efforts to help with their potable agua project. Well I gotta go, I will update soon. I miss everyone and hope that everything is ok. Luego.

ps. the spellcheck isn´t working, so ignore all errors.
