Hey All-
So I've been pretty quiet about what's been going on the last week because I wasn't exactly sure what actually was going on. But I guess I'll go ahead and throw another post out here.
Peace Corps decided to remove me from my site for safety and security issues. If anybody wants the gritty details, I'll be happy to email you, but it's just a lot of drama and craziness so I won't bore you all here.
The point is, I'm back in Port Vila just kinda twiddling my thumbs. They're actually trying to find me a new site, which is really cool because I didn't think that would be a possibility. Right now they're talking about this island called Maewo, and it's supposedly one of the most beautiful islands in Vanuatu, with waterfalls and nice roads and even a lazy river! I would be teaching at a Rural Training Center RTC, which would be great because I would have something constructive to do with my time. There have been a lot of volunteers there before me, including Gwen, a volunteer who completed her service there and had a great time. She was replaced by a new volunteer last month, who quickly decided that it wasn't for her and is already Stateside again. That worries me slightly, but not enough to deter me. But alas, it is only a possibility at this point. The phones on Maewo are down, and PC can't seem to get a hold of the village. So I'm here waiting. It's not so bad. I have a hotel room and a modest allowance and plenty of people to hang out with. My birthday is coming up and it looks like I'll be here for that too.
So things are a little sketchy right now but it looks like PC is doing all they can to help me work it all out. I'll keep you all posted.
Miss you!
