Stolen Lightbulb Jeremey,
Maybe in an act of neighborly kindness you could buy your upstairs neighbor a lightbulb and give it to him as a gift so he won't steal yours. Just a suggestion. -Dorota
recomendings de beer How about from 8:15-way too late: Drink Beer, this will make the first several sections of your schedule more exiting.
Hang in there
Plusses and deltas Jeremy,
Sorry to hear about your being robbed. Glad to hear you (and Sue's 6th sense) were able to get your cell phone back. I also have to say
"6:55-7:00 Get a beer out of the fridge and ..."
Are you SURE you're in the peace corps?
Frisbee has been pretty good the past couple of weeks. Lots of good action. Today's lessons:
1. Don't hang the frisbee in the air near Jake if he's on the other team.
2. Pay attention to Chris lurking behind his man. Fortunately Chris's five or six nice step up grabs were on my team this week.
Go Cavs! Go Indians!

Working on a symbol for you Jeremy, I am going to have Elisa work on a symbol for you. The other day I was doodling some runes and she asked me about them. I showed her some of the ROTK appendices and she wanted to make her own rune like Gandalf's. (You know the one he left on a rock on Weathertop?)
It is great to read about you enjoying your work so much.
Es una lástima Que tal Jeremy ? Te estoy saludando, me imagino que ya has aprendido algo mas del idioma.
El español es difícil porque es muy rico en palabras, quiero decir que puedes usar diferentes palabras para decir una misma cosa.Nosotros usamos los adjetivos despues del substantivo Ej. El barco es grande, en inglés lo hacen al reves, dicen " es grande el barco >"
En Ecuador aprenderás un español muy bién pronunciado, aquí en Chile te querrías morir porque tenemos muchos modismos, es decir palabras de moda que significan algo. Y van cambiando siempre, pero fijate que este clima de Chile te gustaría mas, hay menos " bichos " es decir baratas, hormigas etc., hay estaciones de clima muy marcados, invierno nieve lluvia frio, en verano hay sol, 32 grados, playas y carrete , en primavera hay sol templado pero no te humedeces ni te enfrias y en otoño puedes salir a cualquier lado y disfrutar del sol o los días nublados pero con temperaturas razonables.
Procura escribir en español así podré leer tus comentarios y tus escritos
Saludos de Chile

frates board in nyc Hello Jeremy. My name is Tom Driscoll. My wife, Stephanie Walls and I are secretary and president, respectively of the board of Frates. I've been enjoying your blog. I came upon it by chance when I googled "Puyo". Anyway, it's been very instructive to read about your exploits. We haven't been to Ecuador yet (we plan to visit later this year) so your descriptions have helped us understand the situation. Umberto is Stephanie's cousin. Steph and I are recently retired teachers so Umberto decided that, since we were no longer working, we should preside over the organization here. So, we are new to the enterprise.
Part of the problem Umberto has had is running programs from such a distance. Codeama has taken over much of the administrative work and that has been a great help. We are hoping that you will be able to help too. We want to use the resources we can gather to do the most good and that is sometimes difficult to determine from here. Your imput will be very helpful. We've been thinking about helping the schools. Any specifics there would help. We also wonder if there are any programs to help bring clean water to the communities.
Umberto has been after me to get SKYPE. If I finaaly do, maybe we can talk. Until then, keep writing.
Tom
Love it! That's cool! Sound very similar to the transportation and driving in Mexico since I was just there... It's CRAZY!! But yes, definitely a cultural experience!!!
Pics Wow! Those pictures and views were AMAZING!!! Especially those of Quito! I was so impressed! What an awesome opportunity to see the world! I'm sure you are working your tail off hard too... but I'm sure it's worth it! These kinds of experiences only come sometimes once in a lifetime so thank you for sharing your adventure with all of us! We just got back from Mexico and it was an excellent adventure too! WE had a blast and I want to go back so BAD!!! I wish I could send you some of my pics from Sierra Madre... It was unbelievable!!! Anyway, keep us posted and Best of Luck! Take Care, We Miss You! Hasta Pronto!
Espanol Hey Jeremy! Keep working at the language and don't get too frustrated! You have the upper-hand just being immersed into a country where it is spoken and you also have the benefit of the local exposure to the languages and their culture! You are quite lucky and trust in time... it will come! Especially the verb tenses... but before you know it... it will hopefully just click! Best of luck to both of you! Take Care! Paz!!
Missed your call Jeremy, I spend 36 hours laying around being sick and you call in the 1 hour I was out at urgent care! Seriously, I am very sorry I missed your call. I have been faithfully checking your blog (and Susan's) and miss you guys a lot. It is great hear you are having a good experience. Things here are holding up well. I just performed the first maintenance on the truck. There was a loose switch in the turn signal system. It was actually kind of rewarding to diagnose and fix something without having to take it to the shop. Frisbee has been on again, off again due to the weather. Fun when we have done it.
My trip to the cabin with the kids was a good one. The creek is high. Did some tree planting, replacing a couple of dead evergreens of various types (including the one in the row right in front of the cabin). Caulked the gutters on the deck side. Replaced the dehumidifier. Did some other basic stuff. After Bryan and dad fixed the leak V wanted to make a hatch for easier access. I made some plans I think will work so we can cover the hatche panel with ceiling tiles to make it look OK. I am going to go back down in a couple of weeks and get some more things done.
Take care.
way to go both of you... Jer and Sue, I couldn't be more proud of you and the work and energy you both and the other volunteers, too, are doing there. I am so glad you have times of fun...we will not think about your poor tooth and the pain it caused you now as you are hopefully over it all, cause I know it was a terribly painful experience.
I finally got around to reading all of your blogs, Jer, I will get to Sue on another day, and it is terribly interesting to read. Just stay healthy and safe, please. I will look forward to more of what you are doing.
Love, AJ
what is... If you don't mind could you post Sue's blog address? I am enjoying keeping up to date with your adventures and want to see another view on the adventures. Hope all is well!
Chris, you always have a way of making me laugh Yeah Che is a common theme in Latin America. There are a lot of references to him. Glad to know that you and Sarah are practicing communism back in Ohio - perhaps you should start a movement there.
Un systemo perfecto! Au Contraire bonjour! communisim is a perfect system, I have instilled it here at the casa de thomas, and all is working perfectly. Sarah and I each get a rice paddie the same size as the other, and we now share each others clothing too, I recommend trying to spread communism while you are down there, if nothing else it will make for very interesting blogs. just keep mentioning Che guevera down there and it should spread from that...good luck!
