Post #101

Since we moved, we've been living it up in our spacious apartment across from the ocean. Albeit hot, our fans cool the place down just enough to relax carelessly. Today we finally got the internet and phone hooked up (532-TARA). I think this is one of the few places you can get the exact phone number you want, as many people have their names in their digits.

On another note, Noe will be heading to Seattle, having had no luck finding a job here on Rota. he will spend May, June, August, September and October working with our friend Chris (in July, Noe, myself, Chris, and even Evita will be going to El Salvador and Guatemala).

This week we've been getting to know the two biologist working on a bird project across the Mariana Islands. We played softball on Saturday, went out to eat, then on Sunday snorkeled at the beach. It's nice to meet up with people working in the environment, as I wish I could still be doing, even though I really enjoy teaching.

At work, we are starting the last quarter of my first year of teaching. Students are getting lazy, seniors are getting senior-itis, but Spanish is getting fun with each day teaching new skills to practice. Students will be trying to fill out a Census form in Spanish (Puerto Rico version) this week.

Noe will be in Seattle May 5th, just enough time for him to spend his birthday here on Rota. He really likes the binoculars (Tracy!).

And at the moment, Noe is romping around the jungle with a friend, Billy, looking for coconut crabs (9pm at night...).
