If it´s not earthquakes and hurricanes...
Hey everyone! So I´m still in the capital. I guess if it´s not earthquakes or hurricanes, it´s volcanoes and flooding. At least there is always stuff to talk about here! :)
So in the last four days, I´ve lived through 2 volcano eruptions, massive flooding, and mudslides. I´m now staying in the capital for 2 emergencies. It has been raining straight for the past 2 weeks so now roads are collapsing and there are major mudslides throughout the country. All volunteers have been instructed not to travel. That´s my current state, anyway, due to the volcanic activity, so it´s just more stuff to write about for me. :)
I did break down and buy more clothes. Wearing the same exact clothes everyday was starting to get a little boring (and I´m sure was starting to bother the people around me). So that´s exciting, huh? At least with these fun emergencies, I am getting some new stuff!
So...I don´t really have any crazy stories right now. Although, in my first night in the capital, I did go to a "game night" with Peace Corps staff. And they brought Cranium to play. Unfortunately, it was just a pretty fun game. No outbursts. No good stories like there have been in the past. But we did win. :) And I was going crazy with how we needed to strategize.
So that´s about it. The country is falling apart, but I´m safe. And my host family is safe. We´ve talked about 5 times now since I´ve left.
So...when you get a moment, let me know what´s going on with you! I miss you all!!
Oh, and visit my blog! I added a counter and a location tracker. :)
Talk to ya soon!
