Summer

The Pictures above are of my 30 K walk and a pretty rainbow looking over the city. The summer program is here and we have been taking full advantage of all the nice weather we have been having.

On Saturday two new summer volunteers came over from America, Emmy and Amanda. It has been so nice to have extra people around the cottage. Not only for work reasons but to have people to hang out with as well.

Both seem like great girls and I can't wait to spend more time with them here.

They will be here till the end of August. When more changes will happen. Three new long term volunteers from America.

The weather has been unusually warm here, and by warm I mean mid to uppers 70's. I thought I would miss the summers back home, but I think I am glad to be away for this one.

But I am praying we get rain soon it sounds like it could be a really bad summer.

It has also been a bit dry here for Northern Ireland anyways.

Work has been going really well and it's great to be able to tell new people how things work and have the full time staff turn to me to get things done. It's a nice feeling of finally belonging somewhere.

Other than work, life has been going well. I took a trip on the train with a friend to Bangor (a town not to far away) I also went on a 30K walk. in case you are wondering that is 18 miles. yea and we finished in 5 hours, it was so great though. We walked through farms and the countryside and along the beach. It was so nice to get out of Belfast.

I am planning on taking a trip to Germany to visit another BVS friend in Hamburg.
