I only have today and tomorrow at Los Patojos and on monday morning blanca and I will both go to the airport at 6 am and by midnight I will be back in boston. I still don't even know who is picking me up on monday or where I'm going when I get home. I wish I could stay here just a little longer though it would be very strange without blanca. Elsita our http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Guatemala/Antigua/Antigua/blog-407578.html So I am now half way through my third week time is going by so fast. I love my kids so much. The other day I told cindy that I was telling my best friend about her and she just gave me the biggest smile and started giving me hugs and kisses and was so happy that I tell people about her. She is great. Cindy Jeni and Wendy have been showing up most days to the point where I don't really even kno http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Guatemala/Antigua/Antigua/blog-404961.html Okay so Im not really in el salvador anymore but I was this morning and I was tired of putting the exact same location every time.So I think all of my frusterations from last week are gone. I still get really overwhelmed sometimes but I was typing up my proposal and I realized that I already have achieved a lot of the goals I came with I just still have a lot left to do. I cant believe I on http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/El-Salvador/El-Zonte/blog-404083.html So week two has begun and its proving to be a bit harder than the last. I for some crazy reason thought that I should do a different volunteer project in the morning in addition to los patojos. Yesterday and today I worked at casa jackson 812 a clinic for malnourished children. I was for whatever reason interested in seeing a more medical setting but I hated it so I wont be going back anymor http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Guatemala/Antigua/Antigua/blog-402459.html Things here are crazy. I never know what to write in here because theres so much to say but never the time to say it. This week I planned on just getting a feel for the program and helping out wherever but then I mentioned weaving to a couple of girls and they wanted to start right away. Brenda and Cindy latched onto me right away both eight years old. Theyre really good kids. The next day I http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Guatemala/blog-401156.html I FINALLY GOT INTO MY OWN BLOG. I just sat here for probably about 10 minutes trying to copy and paste an at sign...I am in joco now using blancas laptop. Its a spanish computer and its very confusing. Blanca brooke and I just got back from our weekend travel. We went first to panachjel and then we decided to go to san marcos for the night one of the more hippie villages on lake atitlan. http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Guatemala/Antigua/Antigua/blog-399810.html HelloI am here I have only a few minutes to write in this I am meeting up with two of the other volunteers in five minutes to go to lake atitlan for the weekend. We are also going to a some small villages and possibly the biggest market in central americaThings here are great so far. Los patojos is amazing. I guess it is more of a safe haven for kids than anything else and a lot of their paren http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Guatemala/Antigua/Antigua/blog-399444.html I can't figure out how to use this thing. But if it works this is where I will be keeping my friends and family updated on what is going on in my life That's all for now I haven't actually left yet so I have nothing to say http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Massachusetts/Boston/blog-398782.html
