So sorry!

I'm sorry I haven't updated for so long! My computer has been, and still is:(, broken. So i've had really limited access to the internet. I promise a long photo-filled entry as soon as it's up and running again.

I have been traveling a lot on the weekends. Last weekend I went to the coast to Monterrico with a couple of friends for some r&r. It was absolutely gorgeous. The beach is enormous and black sand from the volcanoes, and the waves are enormous (and highly dangerous) so there is a huge white spray way up onto the beach. Monterrico is also famous for it's nature reserve, and we participated in a giant baby turtle release on Saturday night- totally cool to see.

I am still working with my roommate teaching english and art (or whatever else they want, depending on the day) at a daycare for the kids of policemen. We have just cut that placement to 3 days a week, so Tuesdays and Thursdays we go to a different placement called Marina Guirola. It's an orphanage for severely disabled kids. We started today - it was pretty intense. It's a huge contrast to the other placement.

Other than that, with volunteers coming in and out depending on the week, things have just been pretty hectic. I can't even remember what I did with myself for a month in solitude, it seems like a million years ago.

I was thinking of everyone this weekend on Sunday during McCabes memorial, sad not to be home. I am thinking of him every day as I teach art with my kids, he will always be an incredible role model and someone I will continue to measure myself to my whole life. My heart goes out to everyone in the community who is missing him.
