Round 2, Take 2
Wow, there has been a number of changes in this AmeriWorld. I am not typing this blog in Pomona! Can you take a guess as to where Bluno is now? The team and I are now staying in Vashon Island, WA. Our Pomona project was pulled during the Mid-Site Evaluation from our AMAZING unit leader, Meg. There were a number of things that caused the project to get pulled. The reasons are not really important but let me just say that the higher ups in AmeriCorps NCCC have our backs and they are looking out for us.
The team left Pomona exactly a week ago today. We traveled back to campus in Sacramento and stayed a couple of days to get ready for our next project at Camp Sealth. On Wednesday we drove from Sacramento all the way to Crescent Lake, Oregon. On our next day of travel we drove through Eugene and Portland up to Tacoma and took a ferry to the Island.
We spent Thursday evening getting acclimated to our new surroundings of Camp Sealth and the Pudget Sound. Man this place is gorgeous. It feels nice to be back in the Northwest. Our first day of training was yesterday and it was relaxed and fun. Our site supervisor, Martin, took us on a hike around the camp and we were able to see some of our work sites as well as some work that other teams have done in the camp. Fun fact about this project is that Blue 1 from last year had this as a project and now Blue 1 from this year is at the same spot. After the hike we got into Darla, the van, and drove around the Island to the downtown area. It is quaint and cute. I am a little sad that we are only here for three weeks but I think that it will be a good time.
