"Life in the Peace Corps will not be easy. There will be no salary and allowances will be at a level sufficient only to maintain health and meet basic needs. Men and women will be expected to work and live alongside the nationals of the country in which they are stationed - doing the same work, eating the same food, talking the same language.
But if the life will not be easy, it will be rich and satisfying. For every young American who participates in the Peace Corps - who works in a foreign land - will know that he or she is sharing in the great common task of bringing to man that decent way of life which is the foundation of freedom and a condition of peace." - JFK

The New Digs!

After 6 months with a host family, we PCVs here in Costa Rica are allowed to live on our own and I couldn't have been more excited for a bit for space.  Now in a community of 500 people, there aren't exactly a lot of rental properties, so, instead we converted my host family's shed into my new house!


So I didn't move toooo far away, but it's just been fantastic to have space that is my own and to simply have more of it.  I still go over to their house to cook and use their fridge, but other than that, I'm perfectly content on my own in the new digs with Shadow!

Guest room!  You know you can't wait to visit!




Marking off where I've been in CR so far...
