My site assignment.

Less than an hour ago I found out that I am going to Valle in Bocas del Toro. Bocas is the province in the north west of Panama that borders on Costa Rica. My site description includes: you will be living in a tropical paradise surrounded by lush forests. The site has about 1000 Indindgenous Ngobe people. The town is accesible by a Chiva which is essentially a truck that drives about an hour from the main road. A previous Peace Corps volunteer has designed a water system for this town so I have plenty of work to do upon arrival.
Bocas is also a upcoming tourist region. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bocas_del_Toro_Province
(you know I love that wikipedia!)

Thats all for now, we are going out to celebrate now!
