Site visit!

So yesterday evening I got home from my site visit. My site visit is when you go to your site, meet your family and the organization you will be working with. It was about a 12 hour journey on bus. But they are pretty comfy so it is not too bad, just long and kinda dirty, bus germs.
Anyways, I loved my site. The city is awesome, the family is ever more awesome and I am excited to meet all the kids (its summer vacation). My host sister is 25, really cool and works at the school too.
Basically I feel like I am in the Posh Corps. I have wireless and get cooked for, really nice house. I am just very happy and excited that I will be spending my 2 years there. Here are some pictures:


My new puppy Junior...he even sleeps in the house! That is unheard of here!

My new sister Maria Caridad, shes awesome and I am so happy I have her in my new city!

My province is Canar and my city is Azogues...these are my 2 friends who are in my province. One is 45 min away and another is 2 hours.

Me washing my laundry on a rock.
