Returning...

While vacation is great, it can be hard to return to site. The contrast between the worlds I've found myself in is striking. Turning on a tap and having the choice between hot and cold water. Being free to go anywhere I want. Having all the opportunities in the world. Air conditioning. Or the exact opposite.

But I have big plans for the summer. Next week my summer camp starts, which will be a day camp - mainly arts & sports - for local teenage girls, 3 hours/day, 3 days/week, for 3 weeks. Then for a week in August I'll be doing a photo camp with another PCV. And my PCPP grant was funded, so I'll be doing some field trips with local youth to help them learn about Azerbaijan. And lastly, I'll still have some work at my organization to fill in the spare time.

So the summer will be busy, but busy is good - it gets me back into the swing of things after a great vacation (a posting about that will come later) and will be a great start to the end of my service.
