July Happenings
July 4th has come and gone. I hope everyone had a great holiday. I am fortunate to say that I was able to celebrate America's 230th birthday with thousands of Gringos at a free July 4th picnic thrown in the capital of San Jose. Free beer, coke, hot dogs, cotton candy, popcorn, TCBY, bagels, coffee, cheese cubes and more. A good time was had by all of the PCVs who attended. I even smooged with the US Ambassador and his wife, Mark and Patty Langdale for a while.
Not only did this grand July 4th shindig bring me into San Jose for the first time in 4 months but I was also able to visit my host family from training for a good day and night before the picnic. My host mom, Sarita, just got back from 5 months in the States visiting her daughter and new grandson whom live in Nashville. She had about 1 million photos to share. The baby is so sweet. Hope to meet him one day. It was also great to see my "sister, brother-in-law, and my niece and nephew" who I hadn't seen since my parents' visit in February.
There were also a few orders of business to take care of in the PC office while I was in town. I am helping to plan the All Volunteer Conference for all PCCR PCVs which will take place over Halloween. I love party planning. I also am a new member of the Resource Center Committee so I will be coming into the office once every 3 or 4 months to organize the resource room books and make the volunteer lounge more comfortable.
I am headed back to Santa Cruz today with a case of tonsillitis. The Gringos will be there and ready to play baseball. I will help with their week of organized activities. It won't be long till I am back here in San Jose with 4 teenagers from my barrio for the 3 day Youth Conference at the end of this month. This event it finally happening. Thanks to everyone who made donations to this worthwhile cause. I will definitely keep you updated.
Hope all is well with you and your families.
