My visit to Pimentel was awesome! I stayed with a PCV (peace corps volunteer) who is just doing amazing things at his site. The latest of which is setting up a school for the deaf. It was so good to see what I have to look forward to. Neal, the PCV, is such a great inspiration and mentor for me. And on top of it all, we went to the most amazing beach with some other PCV´s. I know, I am living such a rough life. It was on the northern shore and called Playa Caleton. You dirve along the road and this shady path shows up, you walk down the path, and I was thinking to myself that this wasnt going to be worth it, then all of a sudden this beach pops up. Beautiful white sand beach with the clear aqua water. It was surrounded by rock cliffs and had 2 islands within swimming distance. No waves... just little laps of water. There was barely anyone there. I loved it. It was so unreal.
I leave this thursday for CBT (community based training) and Ill be going to Sabana del Mar. Ill have technical training there and have a school internship. All SpEd trainees will go there, so we will have training together. It will be awesome.
Also, i went to Carnval yesterday.. a mix between the Mummers and Madi Gras. it was absolutely madness. Crazy costumes, lots of music, and a TON of people. It was in the capital. Definitely a crazy experience. Im still not sure what the significance is of it, but it was fun. The one pic Im adding is of this unfinished building that people climbed to get a better look at the parade. thats how big this thing was.
Jonah has set up a site... hileah.blogspot.com that you all can post pics or videos on from home! Please use it! Im dying to see pictures and things from home. Use it!
Much love.
