Life is a Highway...

Its been a while, I know, I know! More exciting stories you say, more pictures of Bolivian food, culture, llamas. Its coming, I promise.

Mi vida aqui has been like Tom Cochrane's Life is a Highway:
"...like a road that you travel on
When there's one day here and the next day gone
Sometimes you bend, sometimes you stand
Sometimes you turn your back to the wind"

Peace Corps is undergoing a project shift, merging my project of micro enterprise development and community tourism into a more general business education and small business development program; with this change comes the restructuring of goals and site development. Next week I'll finally be on the road again visiting volunteers and returning to Pucará where I served as a volunteer.

My work with Habitat for Humanity continues to grow. We are almost done with our Community Leadership pilot program (for kids ages 8-12) in a community about 10km outside of Cochabamba where Habitat is also building houses. I hope to finish the project report so that they may replicate the project throughout Bolivia next year.

As the months come and go, so do good friends that have been working alongside me. This weekend will be full of despedidas (going away parties), picture-taking, and the requisite late-night outings to sing karaoke...

pictures soon to follow!
