We made it! And all is well. In fact, the ‘farm’ at which we’re staying is an oasis — especially after the thirty-plus hours of flights and van riding it took for us to begin our journey. Already, we have had a nice balance of getting to know each other, adjusting to the shift in climate, language, and food, relaxing in hammocks, and cooling off in the lagoon. We’ll be continuing the transition during the remainder of our orientation, somewhat removed from civilization, so our first ‘official’ blog post by the students will wait until their first homestays in Poptun.
Until then!
