a quick update

i know i haven't posted anything in a while so i wanted to post a quick update. i dont have any pictures to post right now, but i will try to get some of the pictures from the hot springs that i went to last week up soon. in other news, life in my town is going real well. the women's group that we started is looking good. we are about to get some lectures about how to work as a group, women's rights, self esteem, all that kind of good stuff. and english classes for the kids begin next week - the schools have been on winter vacation the last two weeks, weird huh?
but, other than that, no real news. this past week, i went to hot springs (aguas termales) with a bunch of people from my town. we rented a little bus and spent the day in nice hot water. the week before, i was in san jose for a diversity workshop that peace corps did. it was nice to see some of the other volunteers, take hot showers and watch some english movies.
so, i hope everyone is doing well. keep sending emails and free (!) text messages, calling and sending mail. miss you all!
