the week in review

Highlights:

Teacher Julie is back in the Big Apple and we miss her already but we sent her out with a bang.

Amir cooked up a flavorful Indian dinner, 
it’s magic what he can do with his campo kitchen… 
Thanks Amir

Spent 3 hours on Saturday at the University Andres Bello in San Miguel 
working with a professor on my association’s website. 
I have to now learn to use Easy PHP then move it to Dreamweaver 
and somehow pass that to a host who transfers it to the inter-web. Bah. 
Tech savvy friends, I will likely be hitting you up for help. 

Weekend at Embo’s inspiring pueblo, 
climbing rocks, discovering waterholes and waterfalls, wading in the river, 
children singing to us, youth center, soccer field, 
killin’ it at spoons and Uno, 
hammock sleeping, private pool hall shenanigans, 
burgers, s’mores, crasin pancakes, 
stoopin’ it and spittin’ orange seeds, 
Christmas lit patio chillin’ and lots of laughter. 
Thanks Embo. Good luck on your FSO interview in DC!

Unexpected woman empowerment via sub-committee planning session. 
My English for tourism course is coming together nicely thanks to some motivated women in my region.

Visit to the high school to gather up grades and attendance 
to help select the best students to give scholarships for the course. 
A little persistence and patience goes a long way. 
I learned in el Salvador the two things one must always have is an umbrella and a book. 
Oh and change. So that’s three.

Dinner with Clelia our Awesomesauce PC Jefa.

Writing articles with friends for El Camino the famed PC ES publication
