At least if I´m treading water I´m not drowning

Things are trucking along at the same slow pace I suppose. At least on the work front. I finished my report for Peace Corps today about what projects I’m doing and how they are going etc. and realized that even though I almost always feel busy, I’m not getting too much done. It made me really think about what differences I’m actually making. I was feeling pretty bummed about it but then talked to a good friend of mine in the capital. He pointed out that my host family now eats at least 3 vegetables a day (besides potatoes) and that there are a slew of kids that love me and follow me everywhere. Then he started talking about the time we spend together. I guess I realized that my biggest changes are going to be personal (both on my part and on the part of the Peruvian with whom I work). Maybe I’m not exporting of forming huge business but I’ve made great friends. I’ve realized that 8 times out of 10 if I’m having a rough day here, I don’t call my Peace Corps friends (although I love them dearly) I call someone in the capital. I guess that’s progress right?
