See ya Spacecowboy...

I'm done with this blog... at least for now.

I will be starting an emailing list so for those of you who are still interested in my time down here send me a message with your email address and I'll be sure to add it to the list to keep you informed.

Apologies,

Movin to the country, gonna eat me a lot of peaches...

Decided to move from the busy high-times city life of Coban back to the slow movin country livin of Chirrepec. Made the decision for a few reasons:
1. Peace Corps told me to
2. I don't want to get fired
3. I want to take care of stray dogs that wander into my house (I'm gonna need to buy a bunch of dog food and flea collars).

Daily Report:

2:30am woke up to the rooster call outside my window
2:40am woke up to the rooster call outside my window
4:30am woke up to the rooster call outside my window
4:45am woke up to the rooster call outside my window
6:30am woke up to the rooster call outside my window
7:00am got out of bed
7:15am ate breakfast with my neighbors: mashed hotdogs in scrambled eggs with a tablespoon of beans and cream alongside a platter of tortillas
8:30am cleaned the old apt.
9:45am came to the San Juan Chamelco library to check out a book for my tree tour lesson tomorrow. -found internet.. hoorah

So I'm excited to be back in the tranquil land of my tea farm living near a new family.

What I need and can't find here list:
-Dr. Scholes for my too big boots (size 11)
-Peanut Butter (JIF smooth)
-AA batteries (too pricey here) 4pack
-Chocolate
-Tuna
-Motorcycle & Jetpack (against PC regulation, but would be useful)

Alright, time to work... see yaw later
