Waiting In Riobamba

So I thought I was going to be sent to new site immediately. The new site was called Delegsol. It is in the south of Ecuador in the province of El Oro and its nearest big city is Cuenca. But the counterpart there decided that the community did not want a volunteer anymore. So then my APCD decided that the Peace Corps office has to develop a new site for me. This means that they have to go out to the site and make sure it meets the safety and security requirements of Peace Corps. My friend up north, in Pacto, says she knows of a site I could probably get into. But there is a possibility that another volunteer looking for a site change for a much longer time than me might get it. So we shall see. In the meantime, I am occasionally going to my site. But more than that, I am traveling aroung Ecuador. Since the visit from my APCD, I have gone to Guaranda, Ambato, and Guayaquil. This past weekend I went mule riding and hiking up Mount Altar. It was awesome! This coming weekend, I am going to Machala, Huaquillas, and Cuenca. There is supposed to be a huge party for Halloween in Cuenca. So I guess that´s all for now. I´ll do another post when I know more.
