slight change of plans
Because the Peace Corps wants to remain as apolitical as possible, they have decided it's not a good idea for us all to go to Honduras right now. Instead, we will be sent to the Dominican Republic for a couple of weeks of training, until the situation (hopefully) blows over. The don't think the situation is a serious threat at this point and all the current Honduran PCVs are remaining at their posts. Since this change in plans happened yesterday, we're not all flying together anymore - some of us are leaving tomorrow, and some of us (including me) are leaving on Thursday. I think we're all really excited that we get to experience two countries for the price of one, so to speak. Also, in DR, it's possible that I'll have internet connection more readily available :)

This is L Jo! I found out about the coup from Joe Farmartino, who was in Honduras for a really short time- he had flown there from Costa Rica planning on staying and working in an orphanage there for a few weeks, but then he left because of the coup. I'm sorry that there's been this change, but you sound like you're taking it in stride! As soon as Joe told me about the coup you were the first person I thought of. I hope you'll be able to have a good experience in the Dominican Republic too! I'm thinking of you!
