I just showed my `sister` that picture of me cuando era<br \/>\njoven. `Qu\u00c3\u02c6 bonita!` &#8211; Marguina. `Qu\u00c3\u02c6 blanca!` &#8211; yo.<br \/>\nI got here yesterday afternoon and now I\u00c2\u00a5m here in a tiny little town called<br \/>\nAchuapa, about an hour from Estel\u00c3\u0152. It\u00c2\u00a5s only 20 km or so from a town named<br \/>\nSauce (pronounced with the e at the end) but it takes approximately 45<br \/>\nminutes from there since the roads are just great. Wonderful. Perfect. The<br \/>\ngovernment definitely does it\u00c2\u00a5s job when it comes to taking care of the poor<br \/>\nhere. It took 4 hours to get here all together.<br \/>\nI\u00c2\u00a5ll hopefully start helping in the library tomorrow, since the librarian is<br \/>\nI-don\u00c2\u00a5t-know-where right now. I brought down a lot of coloring\/playing<br \/>\nsupplies AND a printer and 5 digital cameras. I\u00c2\u00a5m going to teach some of the<br \/>\nkids here (15 is my max. More than that might kill me) how to take<br \/>\nphotographs, what to look for in framing a photo, boundaries, light, motion,<br \/>\netc. It\u00c2\u00a5s going to be frickin\u00c2\u00a5 impossible. Hopefully fun at the same time.<br \/>\nSo I just sent an email to my parents and read an email from my friend<br \/>\nDeanna and then the hotmail site stopped working, but please everyone feel<br \/>\nfree to write to me! I can\u00c2\u00a5t exactly find the `at` button on the computer,<br \/>\nbut my email is sun_moon_and_hilly@hotmail.com<br \/>\nMuch love to you all, especially those of you who I know.<br \/>\nI hope Matt is accustoming himself to the US ok after his spectacular time<br \/>\nin Spain.<br \/>\nLove and Light, Hilary<br \/>\nP.S. So I tried to send this without putting at email address and it<br \/>\nwouldn\u00c2\u00a5t let me so I humbled myself and asked my sister, and you press Alt 6<br \/>\n4. Gotta love life&#8230;<br \/>\nSo how are you, Miller\/Canning people? I miss Acton a bunch, but not nearly<br \/>\nas bad as last year. But I\u00c2\u00a5ve only been here for about 24 hours. So that\u00c2\u00a5s<br \/>\ndefinitely going to change. The hotmail site just started working but the<br \/>\nblog won\u00c2\u00a5t let me post. Grrrr. It\u00c2\u00a5s pouring here. I want to go play in it. I<br \/>\nalso don\u00c2\u00a5t want to get some gross disease from the mud. Damn flip-flops.<br \/>\nMuch amor y luz, Hilary (Hilaria)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well hello there!
