Pre-Weekend Departure

Brandon and I are currently in the mall in Panama City again and able to use the internet!!! (And eat regular food!) We are currently enroute to our Peace Corps Volunteer Site Visit, where we will be staying with a current volunteer at their site for an extended weekend. The volunteer we will be visiting is near the coast in the province of Herrera. Herrera is supposed to be ¨cowboy country¨ being mostly a large desert because of all of the clear-cutting and cattle ranching. Our volunteer is apparently working on some mangrove reforestation, working in the schools, and some community projects (We´ll try to post more on our return trip back to our training site.) Anyway, not much has happened since last Friday- More classes, more homework, more interesting food- We are really looking forward to a mini-vacation!

Please note that we changed the mailing address at the side. If you have already sent something to the other address, I think that you will have to contact the post office, or whoever you sent through and let them know about the change. ALSO: We have a new cell phone number!! Please call Brandon´s mom ( Linda), my mom (Kim) or my sister (Courtney) for the cell phone number. (Due to privacy restrictions, we won´t be posting it online). We are able to recieve incoming calls for free, and have cell phone reception aveces (sometimes) at our site, and always when we are out of our site. It is best if you purchase a calling card from Sam´s or Wal Mart with a 5ç a minute plan- we´ve been told that is the cheapest and easiest way to use them. It is pretty pricey for us to call out to the states (about .50ç a minute) so we may give you a call and have you call us back! Anyway, we can´t wait to hear from you!

We love you and miss you (and would like more e-mails from everyone letting us know how you are doing!!!!!!!!)
