We're about halfway done with training. Last week we took a trip to a small Amerindian village. Everyone slept in hammocks with mosquito nets. We swam in the black water, took a hike in the woods, played soccer with the children, and just relaxed for two days. It was a very refreshing trip. Some people did end up getting worms in their feet from walking barefoot in the sand. They look like a blackhead, but when popped, a worm comes out! We were all pretty paranoid for a few days, wondering if we would get worms.
We're learning how to make some pretty incredible foods, such as roti (a very thick, pita-like bread), chana, chicken curry, pumpkin curry, passion fruit juice, etc. The food here is amazing, and fruits are readily available.
Tomorrow we are all getting together for the Fourth of July to eat traditional food, play cricket, and swim in the black water. Thursday we will find out our site placements. The anticipation is almost unbearable. We will then spend a week at our sites.
If anyone would like our mailing address, just let us know.
