My husband and I bought a house in Isabela in 2005 and we have been visiting PR since then. We will be retiring and moving from the Chicago area permanently in November of this year.
Since there is much to do on the house, and my husband can do it all, he will hit the ground running. As neuropsychoanalytically-minded developmental psychologist, I have been looking forward to reading and writing in my retirement, but. . .
I need to find some volunteer work to do several days a week. I would love to volunteer in an animal rescue shelter. I know there are 3 shelters mentioned on this blog, which I really appreciate learning about, one of them in Rincon and one in Utuada, but I would like to find one a little closer to Isabela.
I'm certainly interested in learning about other volunteer possibilities. I was thinking about a children's ward in a hospital in Aguadilla, which wouldn't be too far. Does anybody have any ideas about potential volunteer opportunities? (I have a basis for becoming a Spanish speaker, but I need to do a lot of work on it - November!)
I would also love to meet some people and start a reading group (good fiction). I don't know if anybody has any suggestions about that.
Once I'm living fulltime in Isabela, I will plan to share whatever I learn on this blog. I'm new to blogging (but not to listservs, etc.). It's good!
