UCI has a community garden for faculty & staff and my friend Renee had a couple plots with her husband. She was totally amazing and set aside some of the garden for Adam, Jennifer and I to use. She has been teaching us all the tricks of the trade (she is an amazing gardener and always brings us things like garlic, tomatoes, peppers, etc. when she worked in our office). We went to the nursery and bought some seeds and plants and are now well on our way to getting some tomatoes, green onions, carrots and bell peppers of our own. Unfortunately, something has been getting into our strawberries!! So exciting!!
Absolutely love our plot! Renee and John made it beautiful (and not just a dirt mound!)

That's cool. I'd love to have my own garden sometime. The storm didn't harm us at all. We're all fine.
Hope you're well.

Hi Emily!
I got your comment on our last blog entry wishing us the best after our PC program in Bolivia was suspended.
As of today we are just normal americans again, no longer pcv's. I'll miss it, but it was an amazing experience, and if you ever have any questions for us, just shoot them my way.
Best of luck to you guys in our application and service. Hang in there -it took us two years to get in! But it was well worth the wait.
Also, we're in miraflores in Lima right now, and I had a great time reading about your experience in Peru. Thanks for posting the helpful info about hotels and restuarants!
Anna
