This is what it's like to move in Guatemala. I wanted to work in another aldea that had more work opportunities, so I had to pack up all my stuff again (5th time since May)and unload it in a completely new house with a completely new family.
Turns out I love the family. Really lively and lots of energy. Not around a ton, so I have plenty of personal space, but we share a kitchen so I also have the opportunity to spend quality time with the family when they are around. Another PCV might be moving into the sister's house in a few months, in fact. Woohoo.
It is a little weird to live in the municipal head now, though. It's definitely a much wealthier community with more resources and opportunities. Every child in this family is currently attending school. We have a TV, a refrigerator, and a microwave. I can even get ESPN.
I'm really looking forward to getting to know my site mates better and to having the opportunity to collaborate with them on projects that fit both our goals. One of them (who's amazing just generally) is going to be helping us with a nutrition workshop we're giving for all of the health center staff at the end of next week. Stay tuned, it should be good!
