So, Jen Koeller keeps telling me I should send you photos you can put up on the blog. So here we are. The first 2 images are here in Cuautla, and the other image is in Guanajuato when I was there at the end of October for my vacation. My house is kind of crazy […]
Hi! Okay, you are getting major points for your emails these days. Really, I super duper appreciate it. Also (and I don’t know if I should tell you this by email or not): I’ve had a couple of dreams about Diane since I got here. Which was one of the catalysts for me feeling so […]
Dear People Who Read This Blog, As you may know, my name is Hilary Burgin. I love the Canning-Millers more than most things in the world. I might go even go as far as to say that I love them more than I love chocolate and Kimballs. If you know me at all, you know […]
Hi there. I’m so, so, so sorry I haven’t called. I really want to, and keep not getting my shit together. I have to go buy a phone card, so reaaaally I’m going to do that today or tomorrow, and call you tomorrow. OR get SKYPE because I LOVE IT and then you can see […]
Thanks for posting that REALLY HIDEOUS one of me. Peter says he’s planning on going through this area again — we’ll probably both need to remind him that he’s supposed to stop here on his way. I have two midterms for tomorrow (a 5-page paper I haven’t started and a Bio test which really might […]
Well hello there! I’ve been looking at the blog — fabulous! I can’t wait for all the pictures to come up. Goose did a really amazing job with those the video. I love it. Also, I was hoping you could help me get a job job for this summer. I realized that you know everyone […]
I’ve been really bad about reading the blog lately, but I figured I’d send along a little something for you and whoever else you want to share it with. My teacher for “Bang on drums and talk about feelings” class (also known as my class on Latino Cultural Activism which is getting to be pretty […]
Hey there! I haven’t been looking at the blog recently, so I just wanted to write and say hi and see how you all were doing! I have to leave for class in 8 minutes, but I suppose I can fill you in a little bit about life… I’ve been LIVING in the library recently. […]
Hi you! I was thinking about how I hadn’t seen the blog in a while, so I was catching up on it instead of writing my paper about the cultural genocide of Native Americans and saw that people were posting stories! So I thought I’d send a funny story about life here. In the heart […]
Jaime and I have figured out that we’re just about the same person. I am her when she was my age. She did gymnastics till around the same age, we have similar backgrounds of Quakerness, care about many of the same things, think the same about many of the problems of life, etc. It’s fascinating. […]
Jaime, the other volunteer who’s staying at the house with me, arrived last night. After 9 hours of traveling. She left the house in Managua around 10 am and got to Achuapa 9 hours later, hotter and sweatier and generally more exhausted. Even though today was July 19th, the revolution celebration day (like July 4th), […]
