Well, today we learned that 2 of the volunteers from my group who were assigned to Tumbes are being pulled and sent to another as yet unknown area for their service. They were placed in towns on the Ecuadoran border and it quickly became apparent that this was quite unsafe for any Peace Corps volunteers but especially young women. The So the Peace Corps send their security officer who recommended they be moved. As much as it is a relief to know they will not be in such an unsafe location, the 3 of us in my group who are left in Tumbes are sad to see them go and feel our support system shrinking.
So we went to lunch together, went to the beach, swam in the waves (I'm learning to dive under them as they break) and said a sad goodbye to Georgi and Freida.
Rats.
