Airmerica

I found out Friday that I will be flying out of Pittsburgh on Monday, spending a night in Miami, and then flying directly to Quito, Ecuador on Tuesday evening.

Sheena said that I needed to get over to South Beach in Miami and boogie down before I go. I wonder.....will it be a lot like Morgantown? HA! Doubtful.

Hope all is well with everyone as we transition into the fall season.

Hasta luego (Until later),

Ecuador it is!

The fine folks at Amizade have been working hard to get a handful of students into some deep inter-cultural exchange.
They have offered a very similar semester abroad experience in Quito, Ecuador, which I have decided to attend.
I hope to travel to Bolivia in the future, although I am sure that I will have plenty to do in Ecuador.

Sorry for the confusion. This trip should be concrete and I assume that blogging will be easier in more developed Ecuador.

Love to all,

Cory

Cancelled and Rerouted

Hi all,

I have some sad news. Due to the interesting and politically charged changes going onwith Bolivian-U.S. relations, my program coordinators at Amizade have had to cancel the semester in Bolivia.

Although there has been progress in easing tensions within Bolivia, the U.S. State Department has issued a travel warning to Bolivia, which led to the cancellation of the program.

There are some pending options to do a similar intercultural exchange in either Ecuador or Mexico; I'll likely stay with the program and go somewhere for this semester. I'll keep the posts coming as soon as I know what is happening.

Again, CS Monitor has an update: http://www.csmonitor.com/2008/0916/p04s01-woam.html

Hope all is well with you lovely people!

Hasta luego,

Cory
