I should be doing some homework for my drinking water class, but instead I have been reading peace corp's volunteers blogs in Jamaica. I'm not 100% sure that we'll be going to Jamaica, but I think it is more likely than other caribbean islands because they emphasize the need for water/sanitation engineers on the Peace Corps website. I'm really stoked to find out that there is a lot of limestone in Jamaica, but I also found out that there are also a lot of ticks there, hopefully there are not any deer in Jamaica (lyme disease is carried by deer ticks). Jamaica has a lot to offer folks like April and I when it comes to outdoor activities, there is hiking, biking, swimming, cliff jumping/climbing and NO SNOW!!!
April is not interested in looking at Jamaica because she doesn't want to psyche her self up just to be let down later, but I don't really care where we go, I just want to make sure I have all the stuff I'll need once I get there. For example I bought a new pair of swimming trunks last week, mostly because the ones I have now are kinda tight and I'm scared the velcro front is gonna pop open and every one will have to see my weiner.
The ideas, views and opinions given within this blog do not reflect any government, corporation, corporate controlled government, or the Peace Corps.
We are Peace Corps Volunteers living in Bella Vista, a Spanish speaking village inland from Mango Creek and just south of Stann Creek District, Belize. April is from Texas, and Scott is from Oregon and everywhere else. We most recently lived in Logan, Utah, and miss the dry, mountain air.
April went to Baylor University and studied International Studies; she also did some of her studies in the Netherlands and nonprofit work with women in Mexico and Eastern Europe. Scott joined the Air Force out of high school, but after his 4 years, he realized that wasn't for him and began going to college, recently graduating with a Bachelors in Civil Engineering.

Oh my gosh. So, my husband and I are nominated for PC assignments in the Caribbean and leaving in the summer (originally, we were told July 20th). His assignment is Water/Sanitation Engineering and mine is Health Extension. He has a C/E degree and mine is in Anthropology. Perhaps we'll see each other soon?
You guys seem great-How neat to be able to share in this process with other folks.
Our future PC blog is at www.joshnjesse.wordpress.com and I'm not sure how often we'll post on it before the actual departure. However, I have links to a few current PCVs and our individual blogs too (if you're bored). :)
Take care~ jesse
