As you've noticed, I've been slacking on my blog entries. Well this time I have a good excuse. My mother board died, i.e. I get online about twice a week and just long enough to read emails and not to respond.
So here's a quick update (pictures hopefully will accompany soon).
Bottle classroom -- Columns and beams are up; we will begin the bottle walls on May 4th. After that, we no longer have enough money for the roof, thus will be searching for more funds. If we don't finish up before I leave, my replacement is more than willing to continue the project.
Sanitary Landfill -- Finally we dug it out! Now the albañil is working on building the fence, roof, tank and putting in nylon and tubes! We will hopefully inaugurate April 29th!
Trail -- I have passed most of the work onto my replacement, but I am still going to work with her on an interpretation plan. We will be inaugurating in May right before I leave! (Guatemala is big on inaugurations!)
Life -- Enjoying it :) It's going to be so hard to leave this place in 6 weeks, but at the same time, so hard to stay.

- I'm a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer from Guatemala. This is an account of my service as an ecotourism volunteer. Now I am traveling by land through Central and South America and will continue updating it. ...My blog is mine, not the Peace Corps', so everything said here are my thoughts, not theirs...FYI.

We Need a Few Good Writers!
*Travel with purpose after COS and author a travel guide for your country of service.*
Other Places Publishing, a start-up publishing house created by RPCVs, is actively recruiting PCVs in their final year of service to remain in-country after COS to research and write travel guides for their country of service. Our guides provide unique local insight, highlight those spots off the beaten path, and show the real country to travelers. If you’re up to the challenge, we’d love to hear from you. We’re particularly interested in hearing from R/PCVs in Central and South America. Check out www.otherplacespublishing.com for more info, or email Chris at editor@otherplacespublishing.com. Please pass this information along to other PCVs in your country. Thanks!
