Ok, this first one isn't my site visit but instead it's a picture of the ever so kind Mama Rita that has been housing me for the past several weeks.
Now we will begin with the site visit photos. Hold on to your seats!
Puerto Quimba: our boat's launching point
Mateo (my neighbor) at Puerto Quimba
The city of Las Palmas
THE street of Las Palmas...the only street
First glimpse of Taimati!!
You may have heard of "The Strip" in Vegas? Yeah, this is kind of like that...but not at all.
My host family house for the next three months.
Ugh! It's such a long walk to the beach from Taimati.
When the tide goes out here it only leaves about, oh say, a MILE of mud flats.
A mountain view over some mangroves? Can't complain.
Wider view including Marta, my community guide.
Shore to the left.
Shore to the right, including the fish market house thing?
Local school where I will maybe try teaching some english, we shall see.
Our fútbol field. (That's soccer for you readers back home)
Pretty flower photo, because why not?
My latrine, this is a super nice one. Brand spanking new too!
The boat ride has some great views.
Some really cool stuff out there.
The boat ride is expensive by Peace Corps standards ($15 each way) but the scenary is worth it.
Well there you have it! My first photos of my new home. I hope you enjoyed them and don't worry, there will be plenty more to come.
Hi Austin, We hope all goes well for you. Our Hispanic Church Family in Sanford say "Hello". We miss you! Seems like difficult living conditions there, but we hope that you "be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go" Joshua 1:9. En Español: ¡Sé fuerte y valiente! ¡No tengas miedo ni te desanimes! Porque el Señor tu Dios te acompañará dondequiera que vayas. Dios te Bendiga (God Bless you). I also have a BlogSpot: http://julio5082.blogspot.com/
