Home – 8/7/12 @ 11:18 AM

I’ve been home for a few days now and it’s not what I expected. I thought I’d be tired, riddled with a bad case of culture shock, and wrinkly-white fingered from standing in a hot shower for longer than necessary. On the contrary, I feel rested and ready… View Post shared via WordPress.com

Day 17 – 8/3/12 @ 7:26 PM

I finished painting the guest house today! It was my project of the day, I worked on it from about 8 AM to about 4 PM, with a break for lunch and a break to walk over to Ruth’s store to check on the others. They were sorting the new clothes that Franklin… View Post shared via WordPress.com

It took me three days to get this up

Day Ten – 7/27/12 @ 3:32 PM, I remembered today that it’s Stella’s birthday. She’s two now. Guess what! Jerry just fixed my camera! Just like that. Apparently there was a little piece of something blocking the receptors of the SD card, which is why my… View Post shared via WordPress.com

Snakes and more mud

Day Seven – 7/24/12 @ 6:10 PM, Yesterday, something happened that I had been hoping, probably praying, wouldn’t happen. Those who know me can guess. Jerry found our first snake. I’d love to not go into the details but for the sake of my readers it is… View Post shared via WordPress.com

http://wp.me/s1RD7K-135 Day Five – 7/22/12 @ 9:31 PM, It’s late and I’m tired. It’s 11:31 Richmond time and I’m definitely still on Richmond time.

Day Three - 7/20/12 @ 8:36 PM,

It’s so nice to shower because I’m getting wet voluntarily and afterwards I am somewhat clean. Tomorrow morning I will step in a muddy puddle first thing and I will no longer be clean, but for now, I am clean and it is good. Today, Ruth and Wendy and I… View Post shared via WordPress.com

Several Posts At Once

Same Day, 9:35 PM (from now on, I will be using CR time) So what happened was, I looked at my itinerary and realized the plane lands at 2:30. Didn’t realize this was CR time and not Richmond time, so at 1:30 I looked at the time and thought, “wow! This… View Post shared via WordPress.com

número siete - 7/17/12 @ 8:40 AM

So I’m leaving tomorrow. TOMORROW at seven in the morning. Luckily, I think I’m ready to go. Four years of art school taught me many strange things (you wouldn’t believe me if I told you) including time management. I employed that skill perfectly and now… View Post shared via WordPress.com

número tres – 6/28/12 @ 3:46 pm

Ruth has a mission for me. She wants me to help set up a screen-printing shop for one of the locals to make and sell souvenirs. Yes, a screen-printing shop in the jungle. Problema número uno, it’s the jungle (not much we can do about that).… View Post shared via WordPress.com
