Drumroll!!!!

:) Just got my site----drumroll----I{m in Cuatro Esquinas in Pantasma, Jinotega. You{ll probably only be able to find Jinotega, the main city, on the map or google. Mom and Sean already took a google map satellite tour of the city. It{s actually the same place where my Agriculture Specialist did his service and he loved it! There hasn{t been an Ag Volunteer since Ag 48 (we are Ag 59) but she was awesome too- helped with a silo project, community bank, cooperative, a women{s soccer team, and improved ovens. Big shoes to fill but really excited. Peter hass described it as the Frontier town to the agriculture corridor, so everyone comes into the big city from the boonies and up in the mountains to resupply and fix their appliances---you know, like Vermont! Going to have to get used to coffee though!  With a 3 bus ride to the nearest city, I{ll be falling behind on internet activity soon enough. Will be out for the next week on site visit anyway.

  2. Thinking of you lots during your "scouting trip." Mailed your package yesterday with cookbooks, embroidery floss, seed packets, and a few surprises! Can't wait to hear how it goes. Many hugs, Love, Mom
