My life is about to change, a lot.
Since arriving in site, more than two months ago (where does time go???), I have had two sitemates. They have helped me with everything from introducing me to their connections in town to telling me where to buy the best peanut butter. In a very short time, they have become two of the best friends I have ever had.
This week, they both left. One left and is going to be traveling for a month before coming back to Guatemala to work. The other left more unexpectedly for medical reasons and is now happily enjoying hot water that comes from the faucet in Oregon. I am going to miss them, but I am so looking forward to hearing about their adventures and I know that, thanks to the miracles of the 21st Century, I can still pick their brain for everything they know about Peace Corps and Guatemala and just life in general.
Without sitemates to eat with, chat with, and dance with, life will be quite different. I loved having sitemates to work with and hope to be getting another one in August, but until then I will enjoy my extra time by working a lot, spending more time with my host family, and establishing my own routine here (i.e. running, cooking, setting up my apartment). Most Peace Corps Volunteers around the world do not have sitemates, so I'm excited to give it a go for a few weeks!
