updates

Well, for those of you who didn't know. I'm obviously not back in the states yet. My official close-of-service date was June 24. But, I am still here in Panama working with Peace Corps! I decided to extend (for 4 months only) to continue my work as Regional Leader in Chiriqui. I finished up in site the end of June, like planned, and moved my stuff down to David. It was kind of hard to leave my site, but not as hard as could have been if I was leaving for real. I promised the town I'd "dar la vuelta" occasionally to come and visit. I didn't say my goodbyes yet. Moving my stuff was chaotic. I don't know how I accumulated so many things. It took 2 carloads!! Though, that was probably because I took almost everything. I mean, I have to furnish a new house and I still make very little money. So, now I am living in my beautiful home in David with my lovely roommate Joanna. Though, we both travel so much we almost never see each other. Now its time to work and start thinking about reentry in November
