Getting comfortable

I know the amount of blogs will wane the longer i am here so i will continue to write them when i feel like it.....
    last night when i finally decide to leave my room to meet everyone...i am pleasantly happy with how nice all of the volunteers are.  they definitely tried to make the four of us newcomers comfortable.  Since most people work at SKIP on Saturdays Friday nights are usually pretty calm here...
    so of the four of us that came yesterday all of us were teachers last year in the states. two of them, nico and amy, taught in ohio and are quite the duo. they are going to volunteer through december and then travel afterwards.. from what it seems they may kill each other before the end of the week. nico by the way is very funny and makes me augh a lot. amy seems very mature and has her stuff together!  th other girl lauren is from NY and taught in DC.
     most of the other volunteers come from england and are a little overwhelmed by all the new americans in the house! they think we are taking over.. LOL...
   one of the volunteers who has been here for 6  months is leaving tomorrow so we are going out in huanchaco, the beach town, to celebrate. they said they usually stay out until 5 am... this is where my age will come through.. just can't quite hang that long...
    this morning we went to "the office" in El Porvenir. Basically we stuffed 6 of us in a small taxi and went to SKIP. we introduced ourselves to the parents of the kids involved in the program. it was interesting because eif you looked around every other woman was knitting while she was listening.  I can't wait to buy some of their goods! Apparently SKIP helps them sell it as well ... on-line , at the volunteer house, and in huanchaco where most of the tourists are.
   on the way back to the house we actually stuffed 8 people into the cabbie. it is fairly phenomenal how this is done! it did make me giggle though.

ok well, off to take a nap
