well folks, i have arrived in sunny alamosa, colorado. my first week here was a whirlwind, meeting everyone involved in la puente home, learning about the town and the valley and swiftly settling into my new home. then myself and the other seven la puente volunteers went on a retreat in a small canyon snuggled amongst the san juan mountains. we mostly lounged and participated in team bonding-like activities. i also got to practice my harmonica a lot and played spades by the fire. the day after returning from the retreat was my first day at work at milagros, the la puente owned coffee shop. i have also started my work in the volunteer coordination office with allison, jenna and keirsa. all hard work but way fun and life enhancing. this valley is amazing, the people are friendly and welcoming and the scenery blows my mind every day. come visit. you will not be disappointed.
below are some fotoz from the last week or so. enjoy.
