Casa Azul


It’s been quite a while since the last time I posted a blog. The big news is, I am now living alone in a little blue house in my barrio. I absolutely love it! I love it so much that I am actually thinking about extending service for an extra few months. Other than moving into my very own place, traveling to the capital city three times in one month, receiving a third new boss in the course of my time here in CR, and finishing up a workshop on domestic violence accounted for my time in the month of March. The daily work routine consists of co-teaching preschool 4 mornings a week accompanied by one of the following choose your own adventures in the afternoon: 1) visiting the children in the orphanage, 2) sporadic visits to the child welfare protection agency, or 3) teaching a domestic violence workshop. There are a few other projects going on but those are the highlights.

Just today, I got back from visiting a fellow PCV in her site on the beach. What a rough life, I know. Kathryn is actually done with service now and flies back to the States on Thursday. It was great getting to spend her last few days here together but once again I must say goodbye to another great friend. On a positive note, I will be receiving Kathryn’s old cell phone so soon people will be able to contact me directly.

That’s all for now. I hope everyone had a Happy Easter.
