This is it, I’m off to Cabañas, COPAN, to work on projects in tourism, the redesign of Project Citizen materials, and a program called Educatodos, among other things...
The department of Copan is located in the western part of the country, right next to the Guatemalan border. The climate is warm, but not hot, rather fresco (as they say here.)
The best part is that I’m right next to the famous Mayan ruins so it will be beautiful and colonial-esque villages, with the same charming cobblestone streets that are here in Sta Lucia.
I also have a site mate named Sarah, who is currently serving as a health volunteer. (This way I can keep up on the Med School lingo for when I talk to all you soon-to-be doctors back home whom I love!) I met my counterpart today, the mayor of the town, and he and the tech team will be driving me and my enormous suitcases to Cabañas tomorrow. It will be so nice to stay put in one place after this last move! I will never over pack again!
All the new excitement aside, I will miss my training site of El Paraíso a great deal. My family there I truly fell in love with and I was crying like a baby as our bus pulled away and little Angel and Susanita were waving their goodbyes. They called me once I arrived back in the frio Sta. Lucia, and already their voices sounded so far away. Once in Copan, I will be 2 days travel from them. I’m one of the furthest from Tegucigalpa, 9 hours by bus to my site! ¡Pumachica!
Angel called me again tonight begging me to come back to la casa and play with him. Miriam got on the phone and I just got a soft pain in the gut, knowing I wont be talking to her after la cena anymore.
I'm anxious to meet a whole New family tomorrow, and I'm thinking, i just can't be this lucky a Third time!
Here are some websites on Copan:

Val and I were discussing last night how beautiful your pictures were and how we loved reading about your adventures. We also realized how lame we were not to send you anything yet, because by now that first address is old news, right? Be sure to email us or post your new address when you can, and in exchange we promise lovely letters.
Love you, Kate
