Xmas 09

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC | Wednesday, 30 Dec 2009 | Views [48] | Comments [1]

My Christmas day was spent on the road, waiting for a guagua that would take me back home, but being that it was a holiday, the buses were not very regular or timely, like most things in this country. We took a carro publico and little guagua to ... Read more >

Catching up....

Moved into my new house and it is a definite step up from my old neighborhood. For starters, I have water most of the time and so I don’t have to buy my water off the truck anymore. But, I still store water in about 4 different large tanks for when ... Read more >

Picking grapes.

Last Wednesday marked a year for being in my site. No big celebrations, just mentioned to my host family that I’ve known them now officially for a whole year. Then I bought my stuff in their colmado and I lugged all of it back to my house. Thankfully ... Read more >


Moving out and up

Funny how it took me five months to finally post pictures of my house, (nicely decorating it with some family pictures) and now within a month I am moving. I hate to leave this house, despite the lack of water and the (sometimes, depending on the heat) ... Read more >

I have finally added more pictures....it is nice to have higher speed internet. Lately the internet has been so bad, the rain messes with the signal, the luz messes with the computers, basically the connection usually s-u-c-k-s. Anyways, I loaded a ... Read more >

rain and the river

I heard the thunder before I left my house, but knowing I had to do a few things in town, I packed up my umbrella and took off. The clouds were already starting to roll in and the sky to darken. I rushed through town, did my errands, ... Read more >


One.

One year in country, and what a year it has been. Looking back, I would´nt change any of the experiences, no matter how hard or frustrating it has been. Sometimes I feel as if this trip has aged me 5 years. Just one year and three more months to go - ... Read more >

Stormy lonely night.

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC | Saturday, 15 Aug 2009 | Views [91] | Comments [1]

Crazy stormy night last night. Lightning lit up the sky so bright it felt as if it was coming into my house, and thunder so loud it sounded as if it was right above my head. Of course, there was no luz and so it made my Thursday night sitting in the dark ... Read more >


Chisme.

Chisme. I need to back track a couple of months on my chisme.....I did find a place to live, and so my new two bedroom house and indoor bathroom is about a 10-15 walk outside of the middle of town, but I love my barrio. Not many people do – when I tell ... Read more >
