As I embark on my first blog, I ask myself “what kind of blog would be interesting to follow?” Should it be stream-of-consciousness, so readers can know my thoughts and reactions to random events? Or should I take the “Julie and Julia” tack and have emotional break-downs on a regular basis? That would probably be pretty interesting. What I have decided to do is to try and focus my blog entries on themes and ideas that I happen upon, with some intermingling of “what I did today” details, particularly at the beginning.
Please keep in mind that I could barely have known less about El Salvador before arriving, so I am learning as I write. Hopefully we can discover some interesting nuggets about life in El Salvador, its history, and its development together. I welcome your comments as I go.
Almost eight years ago I began sending hand-written letters to my mom from Benin during my Peace Corps service, which she would then type up and email out (thanks again, Mom!) This should be a little bit easier :).
