Almost A New Beginning

The last week of training is upon me and the last 3 days look as long as the first 3 months did when I got here! Things are moving paradoxically at a snails pace and at lightening speed! Classes crawl along, but the time outside of class flies by.

We won`t be meeting President Toledo or the Ambassador to Peru at the Swearing-In like we had hoped. I`m a little disappointed as I was looking forward to meeting some political high-ups, but on the flip side, now I feel much better about wearing the very non-formal skirt I brought to the ceremony! :)

I`m really looking forward to getting to Jocos, but that will have to wait until the 7th as I`ve got one night in Lima, one night on the bus to Cajamarca, 2 nights in Cajamarca and probably 1 night in Cajabamba. Does everyone have those names straigth yet? And don`t forget Lluchubamba (Meredith`s site)! :) See below for phenetic spellings.

I`m not sure what the next few months are going to hold for me. Lots of changes and "renovations" in my lifestyle, I`m sure, but I`ll handle them with as much grace as I can!

I`m still trying to figure out how to get pictures out there for you all! Sorry its taking so long!

Spellings:
Jocos = ho-coe-s
Cajamarca = caw-ha-mark-a
Cajabamba = caw-ha-bom-ba
Lluchubamba = you-chew-bom-ba
