So what has been the craziest thing you have seen at you site

As of late I am starting to regret this whole Peace Corps thing. I am very dipressed and I want to go home??.yeah I am just joking. Everything is going great. My managers from Peace Corps came to my site yesterday for a site visit. I am supposed to have two site visits while I am here. I didn?t get much feedback but I think I am on somewhat of the right track. I introduced them to the people I work with here at the Municipio. So I am all good on that front. My parents are in Canada or Alaska or something right now and I hope they are having a great time. I received a package from them yesterday. It only took like a month to get it. It had beef jerky in it, I was very impressed.

In the next few weeks I hope to get underway on my cities tree nursery. After many talks with different people, I think I am going to give in and allow them to use bamboo in our reforestation project. It may be invasive, but they need a fast growing plant right along the edge of the river. One of the Peace Corps managers said that bamboo would be great for that. This should be a pretty big project and I am looking forward to getting started on it. I have to write a proposal for the Municipio and get it approved by the higher-ups. Wish me luck.

On a bit of a different not, the 4th of July is coming up and I am in a different country. It is ok though, I plan on celebrating by playing with fire, drinking Budweiser, and eating Mexican Food. It will be different, but I still think I am having more fun than yall. Just kidding, I hope yall are having just as good a time as me. Ok, take it easy, and don?t party too hard this weekend. Later.
