I'm back!

After almost two weeks in the jungle, I arrived back at site today and immediately dumped the entire contents of my backpack into the laundry - the selva is a seriously sweaty place. After a quick, but necessary, post-overnight-bus shower, I then set out into town to inform the youth of Cajabamba that yes, I still work here, and that they all need to attend the youth entrepreneurship classes I'm starting next week. An afternoon later, it's eight jóvenes down, the rest of the town to go. But I did pick up some fresh-from-America girl scout cookies from the post office, so I consider it a day well spent.

Once I hang up my armfuls of jungle laundry, deal with the eight million emails that have accumulated in my inbox after two weeks off the grid, attempt to find budding entrepreneurs via every means possible (radio, TV, posters, flyers, school announcements), prep materials for the somewhere-between-two-and-four community banks that I hope to start in the next week, and eat a few more tagalongs, I promise I will update the blog with jungle stories and photos. Because the Amazon is awesome!
