All is well!

Hey Guys!

This has to be short but I just wanted to say that everything is great! I officially moved to my site on Sunday the 16th. So far I have been working mainly in the escuela and colegio (the school and the high school). I will be helping out with english classes in both schools and the environmental conservation projects that are going on in the high school. I am going to try to start an english class for adults by mid October. The current volunteer who is going to be leaving in about a week has been really great. She has introduced me to a lot of important people and has shown me around Pejibaye. Right now we are in the nearest big city called Turrialba and she has been showing me around. I bought a hammock today which I am so excited about! Now I can sit in it and read in my spare time! I will upload more pictures soon I promise. I wanted to mention that my mailing address will remain the same for now. I can make it into San Jose to pick up my mail from time to time. There is a post office in Turrialba but I dont know if I will get a PO box here just yet.

I miss everyone at Penn State! I have heard that the football team is doing pretty well, we beat Notre Dame which is awesome and I bet the place was bonkers. Jean and Barry, I am excited to receive your next letter! Thanks for keeping in touch! Miss you and hope all is well.

More to come soon!
