And now it´s September!

Wow! I have been in Nicaragua for almost 8 months now and I still love the country.

Right now I am preparing for my 3rd workshop in the last 3 weeks and my stress level is extremely high. If I didn´t have some really amazing friends here that support me 100% I would definitely be going nuts. Because of the workshops I have worked nearly every day for the last 2 months and I am really looking forward to a couple of vacations in September - one here in the country and possibly another in the United States. After this week things should become less hectic (I hope!) because I don´t have another workshop until the end of October.

My fiance and I are still together and we love each other a lot but we are both discovering that cross cultural relationships can be extremely difficult.
Plans for a wedding have been postponed because of all of my work with the Peace Corps and because we don´t get to see each other very often.
