Ok, here it is: my new home is freeking amazing! It is in what they call the bosque nublado, which litterally translates to cloud forrest, and it litterally is. as far as i can tell so far we are in the winter season, so it is humid and rainy which makes for particularly splendid views of the super green and super lush hilsides in the surrounding area. It is without exaggeration one of the most beautiful places i have ever seen and i get to live here for the next two years! There is a river that runs along the outskirts of town, it´s actually quite large and for the most part the water is clean. and, the best part, wait for it... there is a waterfall just about a 15 minute walk from my house! The plants here are amazing, tropical flowers and moss everywhere. I guess i´ll have to figure out how to post pictures because words can´t convey the beauty of this place.
To top that off, my counterpart is the president of the junta parroquial and he is pretty rad. we´ve been talking about possible projects and he is really into the idea of a native plant nursery, expanding the community garden>>teaching people how to grow their own food and how to prepare fresh veggies.
Also, my new family is pretty cool. I think i must have got one of the best assignments ever!
