My Site!!

We just found out all of our sites!! I´ll be headed to Bermejo! I figure it´s safe to disclose the location of my site on here since it´s a pretty big city (population of 60,000) It´s not like a little tiny pueblo where if some weirdo asks ¨Where´s the gringa?¨ someone´s going to show them my house. It was my first choice of sites so I´m pretty happy right now. All I really know about it is that it´s hot...real hot...like regularly in the 90´s and humid. Which means its very green. And there are siestas! Apparently, it´s just way to hot to try and work in the middle of the day. I´ve been told it´s a pretty area with rolling hills and lots of rivers. It´s the very most southern tip of Bolivia, right along the Argentinian border. There´s supposed to be great Argentinian wine and beef. I meet the other volunteer living there and they love it. Apparently there is plenty of work to be done. I´ll be working with the school district incorporating environmental ed. into the curriculum and holding teacher´s work shops. I´ll also have the opportunity to work with the local tree nursery, holding work shops with school kids, which I am really excited about. The only down side is that it´s probably one of the most remote sites. It´s not going to be easy to visit a lot of the other volunteers...but I get to fly to Coch whenever we have conferences and whatnot. A lot of people are stuck with 15 hour bus rides. My regional city (where we have the PC office) is Tarija, it´s about a four hour bus ride and is supposed to be a really cool city.
