One week as a PCV

Hey look at me I´m a Peace Corps Volunteer! I have so many photos I want to share with everyone, but the computers here are painfully slow and I´m still working on the patience thing.
There´s a lot of exciting drama in town right now. There was a car crash involving four people so we went to the houses of everyone involved to hear each person´s account. That took a whole day. Then someone from the town who was living in the US died so we´re preparing for a funeral. Funerals are huge here. Evidently I am spending the next two days making tamales. Also, I may be the only person in town who thinks this is interesting, but our mayor is in Venezuela right now cohorting with Hugo Chavez. Just a little slice of Salvy life!
