Cogito Ergo Cogito

another Peace Corps volunteer moved into the community that Alex and I served in while in Peace Corps. He lives in the same house that we lived in, will probably be working with many of the same people and, I suspect, encounter similar struggles.

His blog address is:
http://cogitoergocogito.wordpress.com/2011/10/05/hello-world/

Like Alex and I, he is on the island without internet, so the blog is sporadically updated when he makes it into to town for training/re-supply and such.

We are doing fine. Alex gave her notice at work, She'll be finished at the end of the month. We are currently having a lot of conversations to figure out what we want to do next in our lives, where we want to live and even exploring another volunteer opportunity.

We are at one of those points in our lives where we keep having lots of big decisions to make, and we are torn. -Part of us is ready for a stable career, a house and a garden to call our own, while another part of us wants (yearns) for a more dreamy/idealistic life than that. Somedays we want a house near downtown, other days we want acres in the country away from everything and at other times something less traditional. I'm sure our realitors think we are mad.
