Last sights of the U.S.A.
Having been in Bolivia for a week, getting oriented to the city of Santa Cruz and the host of MCC programs happening here, I am fully ready to jump in to meet my host family and begin language classes tomorrow morning. My host family, who I hear consist of a mother and three daughters (father is working in Spain -- a common occurence), is scheduled to arrive in fourteen minutes to take me ¨home.¨ With my superior knowledge of Bolivian culture, I expect to head to our house no earlier than 5 or 6 o´clock... vamos a ver.
Here are a few photos to tell the story of what I´ve gone through in the past two weeks:
At the SALT orientation, having some fun with new-made SALTer friends.
L: Deci (Colombian), Cecibel (Nicaragua) and Mariela (Bolivia) -- going to live in Harrisonburg! R: Bridgette (New York), me and Stephen (Tennessee) -- SALTers in Bolivia
Sad farewells as we say good-bye and good luck to the IVEPers (young adults coming from across the world to volunteer in the US and Canada). ¨Team Bolivia¨, including all SALTers and IVEPers coming from and going to Bolivia.
At the MCC Unit House in Bolivia, with my favorite mug. And reading with Clara, the daughter of our MCC Representatives Cesar and Lizette Flores.
Thus far, I have been thoroughly enjoying my time and the thrill of learning how to navigate a new city and speak more fluently a new language, while meeting lots of Mennos of the southern hemishere. I´m glad I am finally here!
At CCM in Santa Cruz
