still working

so i have been at my job for 3 weeks now. they really do want me to teach a bartending class to the out of school youth--not exactly what i thought i would be doing when i joined the peace corp. but it turns out that they are working on tourism development in guimaras, so they have alot of new resorts coming in, so training them to work in the hotels is what they really want. and it leaves me with alot of time to go to the beach. so when i say hotel, its not the high rise pc beach style hotels -- its totally bungalow, nipa hutt, no air con style resort. there is marine turtle sanctuary on my island, they want me to work there with the sea turtles -- oh and there is also a safe deck for the dugong(manatee), so i will also be working on those habitats. yeah, i really know nothing about sea creatures, but because i am american they think i do -- and it sounds like fun to go hang out and work in the water, and i'll probably learn alot. my island is so beautiful - my friend karen has a website with pictures on it. go to www.photobucket.com/albums/y49/dubulet/ and you can see pictures. there are links to click on -- to see guimaras, click on guimaras june 8-10 and its our little vacation, and pics of my island. let me know what you think. i have found a place to build my nipa hutt -- i am not officially allowed to move in until september, peace corp rules, but i can start stock piling materials -- bamboo, nipa, and furnishings. i am so excited to be a first time homeowner in the philippines...crazy.
