Yesterday there was this volunteer festival in an artesany town named Suchitoto. My Country Director and Peace Corps Response Coordinator took me and two other volunteers to the festival in order to represent Peace Corps. We had a booth set up where we offered information about the PC to other volunteers organizations in the country as well as to the local/tourist population that were there. It was a great day overall. I got to meet the JICA sub-director and I invited him to my site. JICA is basically like PC, but it's a Japanese organization and they have TONS of money...hehehe. I've had the chnce to work with a JICA volunteer/nurse this past week at the Table Fair and I found her to be very chispita!
So back to the festival...there was music (which probably caused me irreversible hearing loss), pretty awesome dancing by the National Academy of Dance, and food from Louisiana (the jambalaya was terrible, but the gumbo was great!). I met some really cool Israelis and we discussed many things, wwe spoke alot about keeping the Sabbath and travelling. I would love to go to Israel one day.
Right now I'm in my hotel room in San Sal with a terrible cold. I have to go back to my site in a few hours, but I really don't have the strength to get out of bed. I feel just terrible. But mentally and spiritually I'm doing just fine. I feel so blessed today and I thank God for His constant protection.
Love and live life!
