Settling In

Just returned this afternoon from Castries where we had a two days of workshops and interviews. It was great getting to catch up with the other volunteers who I will be sworn in with in the coming week. It was our first time together after our first few solo days in our communities. Needless to say, there was no lack of energy, enthusiasm, and optimism as we shared stories of the people we had met and the areas where we may be working in. A good time was had as we went out to dinner Thursday night and had the opportunity to hang out and relax back at our hotel.

After returning this afternoon, I watched some pick-up futbol games at the field next to my homestay and helped my friend Mikey clean and prepare some fish he caught in a river after work. All in all, it is good to be back "home" in my village.
