Peace Corps Volunteer "Destination: Hondo" writes: Everything is fine and tranquil in my little town
Honestly, if you came to El Negrito, one wouldn't even know that there was any "crisis" going on in other parts of the country. Other than that, I can't really comment on what is going on, at least not on my public blog. Just know that I am safe and that as of now, PC has no plans of evacuating us, which is a good thing. I would be absolutely devastated if I had to leave here.

[Excerpt]
I know people have been concerned about me given the political situation that is going on here but most of you know by now that everything is fine and tranquil in my little town. Honestly, if you came to El Negrito, one wouldn't even know that there was any "crisis" going on in other parts of the country. Other than that, I can't really comment on what is going on, at least not on my public blog. Just know that I am safe and that as of now, PC has no plans of evacuating us, which is a good thing. I would be absolutely devastated if I had to leave here.
