Almost done with training

I'm halfway through training, and thought it'd be a good idea to post some pictures. I'm currently living in Parramos, Chimaltenango. Adjusting to life here. I'll find out in a few weeks exactly where I'll be placed for the next two years, and who I'll be partnered with.

The picture of me on my head is in Antigua, in the middle of the ruins of a church. It's a beautiful town about 30 minutes away from where I live.

The other is from a walk home from a nearby town after a day of technical training. Apparently, that wasn't the safest idea. Once we got home our families said to never do it again. Oh well, it was beautiful.

The one of a building and beautiful flowers is the Peace Corps Center. Where we go every Tuesday to learn about brain worms and diarrhea.

The one with male tinkerbells is from a guatemalan fair.

There's a lovely view of Volcan Fuego in Antigua.

Well that's all the pictures for now, the internet takes forever. And it's a beautiful day here (it's summer time here), time to walk around.

Enjoy.

  1. Hi Amber! This is Clifford's Mom, Lee. I talked to him tonight and he told me you had said I could read your postings. As it turns out I had found you once before but "lost you". Thanks for the invite. I look forward to staying in touch with you and reading all about life as a PCV. Clifford also tells me that you may have some pictures with him in them and that would be sooo cool. I know that Internet access and speed is a problem so whenever you have the time we look forward to seeing them. Take care and I hope you got the partner and group that you wanted! Thanks, Lee

  4. You are so beautiful, brave, and strong. I admire you so much for going out and seeing the world. You help me know that my dreams to do the same are attainable. I am so proud to be able to call you my cousin. I wish we would have grown up closer together, but there's always time. I love you.
