I MADE IT!

After 5 hours of sleep and one last panic attak about overpacking, I finally made it to PV. On the flight over I lucked out and had my own row, allowing me to stretch down and read my book until drifted off somewhere over Alabama. Greta met me at the airport and took me to the Outreach apartment where I am sharing a room with a girl named Claire from the UK. She seems very nice and adventurous and has enjoyed being in PV since May working with the deaf. She leaves this next Saturday (judging by Claire´s luggage I did indeed overpack). Then Greta and I walked down the street to a fbaulous cafe for lunch. I hand a mango, apple, and spinach salad with an amazing vinegarette dressing. We followed up with a smoothies that tasted like heaven. After lunch we headed back to the OI APT to do some paperwork. Unfortunately my other turtling buddies were delayed in Mexico City, due to their flight being cancelled, and did not arrive in PV until after 7 without their luggage :( However, Marilyn and Jonathan seem to go with the flow and will be nice to have aroun for the next 3 months. They are a charming couple out to explore the world and save turtles (my kind of people).

After finishing up with the docs, Greta droive me allaround PV and the neighboring town of Pitillal (spell check). She told me the best ways to get around, but honestly it was all so fast I had a hard time keeping track of what she was saying. All I know is that you must take a green bus to get pack to the OI Apt. There is a nice running track down about 1200 meters from the OI Apt so I am looking forward to doing a jog their in the morning.

I spent the evening relaxing and talking with Marilyn and Jon. NBow the rain has started and there seems to be a fiesta with festive music happening right outside :)

Tuesday I start Spanish and Sat I leave for the turtle camp! YAY!
