So, the general rule here seems to be that when I'm having way too much fun, I forget to blog.

Which is a good thing. Or a great thing! I'm going to make this another short post with fun pics.

I've been having trouble with the wordsmithing... something seems to be blocked in my brain and I haven't been able to get words down on paper or screen so you'll have to settle for pictures until I get the problem sorted out.

Last weekend, we had a workshop on how to make solar panels. It was really interesting, but was unfortunate in that it was during our precious spare time. Other than the Ap Tech boys who will be teaching this workshop in Nicaragua, the rest of us only attended the first day.

Couch bed crew!

The Cuba Crew!!!

This week went by really fast. We spent three days in a CIL (Centre for Intercultural Learning) training. Basically it was three days of intercultural preparation with everything from ethical discussions about development to meeting a resource person from our placement country to ask questions.

Friday night we had a party in the barn to celebrate life.

Quick recap, life is wonderful, the work is fascinating, Cuba will be intense, I love my fellow interns, the weather is getting better.

Gussied up for the barn party ;)
